CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATIONS:The reasons for conducting crime scene investigations are: to document, and collect evidence that tends to prove a criminal offense has been committed and to identify the party or parties responsible.PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONSThe responsibility for conducting the preliminary investigation normally lies with patrol detectives.When a patrol detective arrives on the scene in a supervisory capacity, he will assume the responsibility for evaluating circumstances and directing and coordinating the efforts of those officers assigned.Some crimes and incidents, because of their complexity, require expertise and time that the patrol officer may not have. To ensure these types of crimes receive the proper investigation, the patrol officer or supervisor assumes the responsibility for evaluating all circumstances related to the investigation and determines the need to request assistance from a detective. When the crime involves a dignitary or politician the special investigations section lieutenant or designee will be notified.Patrol officers will begin the preliminary investigation and brief a supervisor when detectives are responding to assume investigative responsibility. A patrol supervisor should respond and either provide the briefing to detectives or will designate an officer to provide the briefing to detectives.
