The Seven S’s of a Crime Scene?

The Scene is simply defined as the actual site or location in which the incident took place.

Securing the Scene It is imperative that the first responding officer on the

scene protect the individuals involved as a first priority. Protecting the evidence is the second task. The entire

investigation could be dependent on this.

Why is it important to secure the scene? Scene is secured by a restricting a perimeter, utilizing rope or tape.

Entry of authorized personal is recorded. All unauthorized personal or removed to eliminate possibility of contamination or

transfer of evidence (Locard)

Separating the Witness Witnesses must not be allowed to talk

with each other. This is done so they do not compare

stories and so that a new story is not created. (collusion)

Scanning the Scene A forensic examiner needs to be able to scan the scene to

determine if there is a primary crime scene or potentially a secondary crime scene.

Primary scene- place the incident occurred Secondary scene- any other place connected to the

incident Ex. This is done by the team leader who assumes

control and assigns other duties such as who will be the : Photographer Log Recorder Sketch Artist Evidence Recorder and other personnel Specialist- entomologist, blood splatter, etc

Seeing the scene Done by the photographer

A photograph is a two-dimensional reproduction of the crime scene. It serves as the permanent record of the crime scene. Everyone involved in the investigation will have an opportunity to look at

theses photographs (the District Attorney, the defense counsel, homicide detectives, etc). They are also very important to you because the photographs will serve

as “memory joggers” when you have to get up on the witness stand and testify.

Good pictures are essential because most trials do not take place until a year

or more has passed. Videos can also be taking at the crime

Seeing the Scene This is done by the photographer Requirements of each photo: Photograph overall area from up close and

medium range and far away prior to moving anything.

Close up of each piece of evidence with evidence marker (including corpse)

Include a point of reference to indicate size. ( a ruler, a pen, a car key)

Sketching the Scene An accurate rough sketch drawn to scale

noting position of evidence and body. All objects should be measured from 2

immovable landmarks Sketch should include Case #, date, time,

locations, and assignments. Also included should be dimensions of

room, furniture, doors, windows, distance of objects or bodies from entrances and exits

Key Legend, should include direction and scale
