QUESTION 1
1.1
Taking comprehensive and accurate notes at a crime scene is crucial for several reasons:
1. Permanent Record: Notes serve as a written record of all activities and observations
made by the investigator, ensuring that the scene is permanently recorded. This is
essential because there is no second chance to accurately record the scene after leaving
it.
2. Future Testimony: Given that testimonies may be required months or even years after
attending the scene, detailed notes help in recalling facts accurately, which can be pivotal
in securing a conviction or avoiding an acquittal.
3. Commitment to Observations: Notes force the investigator to commit observations to
writing, maintaining a detailed record of everything seen and done, which can be
invaluable during court proceedings. Terms of use
