I. Possible Discussion Questions of Topics of Today


from the Stick Keeper

Possible discussion questions or topics or today.


1. Can you think of any other ways to secure a crime scene? Is
multilevel containment the only/ best way to contain a crime
scene? Consider both indoor and outdoor crime scenes. (pg
99-101)
2. Can you think of an example where the best entry point to a
scene within a home would not be the doors to the house? What
other places would you use as an entry or exit point in this
scenario? (pg 103-104)
3. Thinking about the scene we will be creating for class, which of
the search patterns do you think will work best? Why? (pg 113)
4. What benefits if any, can you think of for the point-to-point
search method? Why do you think it is still taught given the
possible consequences associated with this method? (pg 118)
5. We all know that the call you receive is not always what you are
responding to, what can investigators do to help prepare
themselves for the assessment of any scene? Think PPE,
barriers, search methods, etc. (pg 129-132)

Other Possible Questions:


• What was going through your mind while you read this chapter?
• How did you feel while reading this part?
• Did today’s readings remind you of any real-life situations?
• Can you think any examples having a connection with your
readings(real or TV)?
• How do you feel these readings relate to the law enforcement
career?

II. Key passages and discussion questions
1. Scene integrity (pg. 98): Ideal scene isolation relies on the
creation of two perimeters. First being the primary scene itself
and the investigators working within them. Second being an
area dedicated for staging equipment and is a perfect buffer for
onlookers outside of the scene. Additional perimeters may be
established to maintain or gain more access or control to
secondary scenes.

2. 5 Basic search patterns (pg. 113):


• Circle/spiral
• Strip and line
• Grid
• Zone
• Point-to-point

3. Structural hazards (pg. 121): When dealing with scenes that


have fire/explosion damage, it is possible that the scene could
have structural hazards. The scene could result in a cave in, a
collapse, or any kind of structural hazard to scene workers. It is
important to rely on firefighter expertise and they will serve as
the “primary line of defense for scene technicians.” In severe
conditions, sometimes an engineer may be contacted to offer
support to the team.

4. Managing media (pg. 128): As a scene investigator you should


assume that the media will respect the law and crime scene
boundaries. If this is not the case, it is the crime scene
supervisor’s job to deal with that reporter or news station. The
book says that these problems usually lie on the individual
reporter and not the news station.

5. Scene Approaches (pg. 130) After the scene is secured the


initialization of processing is the team leader must decide
between a functional or area approach. Functional being the
designation of different teams/individuals to different actions.
An area approach is when one team does all tasks required for
the scene.

III. Creative Connections
Chapter 4: Creative Collector

We have been discussing the importance of assessing the crime scene


and making sure we collect all the evidence and necessary detail that is
needed; however, the most important is the crime scene security and the
boundary around the crime scene.

With some crime scenes they are just out in the open and out in front
of the public for inspection, so security is important around the crime scene
so none of the evidence and the crime scene alone gets tampered with or
contaminated. Security around the crime scene reminds me of pulling
security within the military when we were doing field training within the
field.

These two types of security are not the same at all: one prevents the
crime scene from being destroyed, whereas within the military you pull
security to protect your team from getting killed by the enemy. However, in
both of these situations security equals protecting. The evidence and crime
scene is being protected by the officers around the crime scene so none of
the evidence or scene is tampered with, whereas, like said before, the
military security is protecting other soldiers and other people's lives.

The officers that have arrived at the scene and that control the accesses that
come in and out of the scene are important because only certain people are
allowed to come into that scene and documentation is important. Managing
and controlling the scene, access and the environment that can be controlled
is most important when maintaining the crime scene.
