What is the responsibility of a Crime Scene Command Center?

Forensic science begins at the crime scene. Based on the Locard principle, even the actions of the Crime Scene Investigator (CSI) may be destructive to evidence found at the scene. It is imperative that the actions of the CSI mitigate damaging the evidence as much as possible during collection, field processing, and packaging of the items seized as evidence. Obtaining the evidence as close to its original condition when found should be the goal of the CSI.

Discuss the following in your main post:

1. What is the responsibility of a Crime Scene Command Center? Who mans the center?
2. What is the best procedure to follow when a nighttime crime scene is too dark to search properly? What steps should an investigator take if circumstances do not permit this procedure?
3. The third walkthrough of the crime scene is considered the final survey of the crime scene. Who does the third walkthrough/final survey, and what are they looking for?

Determine (based on the sketches) your suggested plans for searching the crime scene(s) in this scenario.

The reason a crime scene search is conducted is to establish the parameters of the crime being investigated and to identify and seize evidence at the scene that will connect the suspect(s) and victim(s) to the scene. It will establish linkage between evidence items and their associative value to each other. It will help identify what actions occurred at the crime scene during the commission of the offense(s). It will also identify items that are missing from the scene or items that are in the crime scene that should not be there. The crime scene process helps identify the methods used (modus operandi) at the scene by the offender(s).

For the purpose of this assignment, you are an investigator on your way to a murder crime scene. Research the following points, and write a 4 pages paper fully explaining each point:

B. You have been provided 2 crime scene sketches. Click here for interior and here for exterior. Determine (based on the sketches) your suggested plans for searching the crime scene(s) in this scenario.
a. Based on the sketches, signify the areas to be searched and the evidence that might be associated with this crime scene.
b. If you had other personnel available to assist you and your new partner, what directives and assignments would you provide them with to assist in your crime scene search process?
