Unit 23B: Forensic Evidence, collection and analysis
B: Investigate a simulated crime scene using forensic procedure
Investigating a Crime Scene
Scenario:
I am a trainee Forensic Technician working for the British Transport Police’s Scientific Support
Unit. As part of my training, my supervisor has set up a simulated crime scene. Me and other
trainees are to act as Crime Scene Investigators (CSIs). I will prepare appropriate documentation
to record the scene of crime, as well as collect, package and label evidence, ensuring it remains
uncontaminated and that there is a continuity of evidence. My crime of scene notes must
describe, justify and evaluate the procedures that you used to process the scene. My supervisor
will make observations of the way I carry out the investigation. This is an assessment that will
help my supervisor decide if I am now competent to become an assistant CSI.
