The crime scene technician must interview the first officer at the scene or the victim to ascertain the "theory" of the case. Basically what allegedly happened, what crime took place, and how was the crime committed. This information may not be factual information but it will give the crime scene technician a base from which to start. Examine the crime scene as the second step in the protocol. Examine the scene for what?
Emma Yates UNIT 39: From Crime Scene to Court It is the job of the FSI to find and collect evidence left behind by offenders on the crime scene. Using the latest forensic techniques they look for all sorts of evidence. The FSIs follow several procedures.

These methods enable a forensic anthropologist like snow to aid the police in making a profile on unidentified remains. These profiles contain the person’s sex, ethnicity, age, and height, how long it has been since they died. In most cases after the identity of the person is confirmed the forensic anthropologist has to testify in court regarding to the
Assignment #7 Who Hit Reveille? Vinay Jithendran 11/11/2013 BIO 111-502 Lab Lab Instructor: Matthew Markert Abstract: The examination of evidence, taken from Reveille’s hit and run accident, aided in the investigation of the perpetrator who did so. DNA, fingerprint, blood, and hair evidence was taken from the scene of the crime and compared to the testimonies of the suspects, Bikerman and Maroon Flash. The DNA evidence of the two suspects were observed, through gel electrophoresis, which produces a DNA fingerprint of the culprit. Fingerprint evidence was observed, through specific patterns in the fingerprints.
Alex Marino Explain the methods used by historians and archaeologists to examine the past To learn about ancient civilisations, historians rely on the finds of archaeologists to propose theories about past events, and the lives of people from previous civilisations. For this to happen, archaeologists must find artefacts, which they do by two different types of excavation, the grid system and open area. Once a site is found, (usually by means of aerial surveying, satellite photography, field walking or a variety of geophysical methods) archaeologists use one of the two types of excavation systems to carefully uncover what lay beneath the surface. The grid system divides the site into boxes marked out on the ground which are numbered, the boxes are dug out, and separated by baulks, which are walls of soil between each box. This system allows archaeologists to examine the site vertically, and is based upon the Law of Superposition.
Forensic Science Technician Description of Job Duties: A Forensic Science Technician may specialize either in crime scene investigation or in laboratory analysis. They investigate crimes by analyzing physical evidence. In a scene: • Walk through the scene and determine what and how evidence should be collected • Take photographs of both evidence and crime scene • Make sketches of scene • Write notes of their observation and findings, such as location and position of evidence where it was found • Collect physical evidence, including weapons, fingerprints, and bodily fluids • And catalog and preserve evidence before transferring it to a crime lab In a lab: • identify and classify evidence • explore links between suspects and criminal
However the term is now so closely associated with the scientific field that many dictionaries include the meaning that equates the word "forensics" with "forensic science". Forensic science is not just what you see on television shows like CSI but rather the use of actual science to help determine the answer to varied legal questions. There are many different types of forensic disciplines that are used to help police and other officials answer these questions. These include criminalistics, forensic psychology, forensic pathology and others. Criminalistics is the science used to help understand the evidence in crimes.
FEBRUARY 3, 2013 INVESTIGATIVES METHODOLOGY IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE A crime laboratory - often shortened to crime lab - is a scientific laboratory, using primarily forensic science for the purpose of examining evidence from criminal cases. These labs generally use forensic science to examine evidences. After examination, they provide reports and opinion testimony. The testimony and reports are presented before a court of law. In the U.S., crime laboratories are operated both at public and private levels.
A insurance company might use an investigator to analyze a car accident to determine whether or not the company will pay for the damages that was done to the car. A law enforcement agency might use an investigator to analyze the crime scene of a homicide or even a robbery to help get evidence to find or prosecute a suspect. A Crime Scene Investigator will have to write reports, take photographs of the crime scene and evidence, sketch of the crime scene, collect evidence, like bullets, weapons, shoe prints, fingerprints, etc. There are several steps you will need to do to become a Crime Scene Investigator. The first thing you need to do is get your high school diploma or G.E.D.
