If an investigator is still needed, the officer must first receive approval from his/her supervisor. C. The patrol officer taking the preliminary report has the responsibility of notifying their supervisor to determine the need for an investigator. If necessary, an investigator should be requested immediately if it is indicated that a delay would affect the investigation or evidence of the crime. The investigator will be on call 24 hours a day for the purpose of crime scene processing. The investigator's response time should be less than one hour. D.

4 1. Observe and record (look, listen, smell, but don't touch) 2. Determine nature and extent of crime scene 3. Determine location of evidence 4. Determine order of collection 5. Duplicate movement of perpetrator and plan search 6. Note all existing conditions (lights, environment) 7. Note items out of place or damaged 8. Note relationship between items 9. Initial rough sketch should be made PHOTOGRAPHING THE CRIME SCENE A. Photographs will be taken of the entire crime scene. When the evidence is such that size is questionable, the scale will be placed beside the evidence in the field of view to be photographed. When taking photographs, the evidence will be photographed both with and without a scale. The dimensions of a fixed object in the scene shall be taken to provide a scale of reference as needed. B. The officer processing the crime scene will maintain a record of each photo taken at the crime scene. Information to record will include: 1. Type of camera used 2. Kind of lighting (daylight or flash) 3. Direction of camera at exposure 4. Date and time of the exposure 5. Brief description of each photo taken 6.

5 CRIME SCENE SKETCHES A. Detailed crime scene sketches are normally prepared only in major crimes. Minimum detail to be contained in the sketch includes, but is not limited to: 1. Time and date of preparation 2. Location of offense 3. Location of items of evidence in the scene 4. Location and names of victims, witnesses, and suspects, if applicable 5. Relationship of the crime scene to other rooms, buildings, or roads 6. Name of person preparing the sketch 7. Direction of north 8. What lights were on/off 9. What windows were open 10. Radio/television, on or off 11. Any other information which is pertinent to the case or which may be needed for a detailed drawing at a later date. PHYSICAL EVIDENCE A. Any physical item found at the scene of a crime, must when presented in court, show a complete chain of custody from the time it was first taken into possession until presented as evidence. B. Some physical evidence may be immediately apparent; other evidence may require a detailed search. C. The investigator, in locating evidence, must not disturb it until it is properly recorded. D. The investigator will ensure that the evidence is not touched or moved before proper documentation of the observations, supplementing these with photographs and sketches. E. At the crime scene, one investigator should be assigned to handle the evidence to enhance the chain of custody for the evidence. F. Anything, which might lead to the identification of the perpetrator or to the manner in which the crime was committed, is considered as important evidence. Such things include: fingerprints, footprints, tire tracks, tools, traces of tools, weapons, shells, bullets, personal property, clothing, broken headlights, glass, narcotics, blood, hairs, seminal stains, tooth marks, discarded food stuffs and handwriting. G. The evidence must be identified with the place of discovery, noting where it was found, when it was found, what it looked like, and who found it. VCUPD Written Directives Manual 7-3 Crime Scene Evidence Collection 5
6 H. The evidence will further be identified with place of discovery, uncontaminated and unchanged in character. I. The evidence will be marked to assure that its identity can be established in the future. The marking is necessary for the officer to prove in court that it is the same as that found at the crime scene. These markings should be as small as possible on the piece of evidence. Suitable marking depends on the article, and those articles, which cannot be marked (i.e. hair), will be placed in a container. J. All articles, which may have some value as evidence such as burnt matches, tool marks, etc., should be collected. K. In collecting evidence, the sample must be of sufficient quality to permit laboratory testing. Standard or known samples should be included for testing. 1. When collecting perishable evidence, such as fresh blood, physiological stains, tissue or biological materials, the crime scene investigator will also collect known samples, if available, for submission to a forensic laboratory. 2. This type of evidence will be sent to the laboratory as soon as possible, after collection, to help assure a most positive result. L. The evidence's purity and original integrity must be preserved. Suitable and sterile containers must be used. Moveable evidence must be carefully wrapped labeled or placed in suitable containers, sealed and marked with the identification symbol, information concerning the source of sample, date and time of collection, the case number, and the name of the person who removed the evidence and placed it inside the container. M. It is essential that officers use the utmost safety when obtaining evidence regarding chemical agents or items, which can cause injury if exposed to. N. The evidence then will be transported to avoid damaging or destroying it. This evidence will be delivered to the laboratory by the investigator in such a manner as to keep the chain of evidence established. O. The chain of custody will be maintained at all times in the storing of evidence. EVIDENCE MARKING A. Marking and labeling of evidence may represent a single process. When evidence is large, complete identifying data may be recorded directly on the evidence. This shall include the officer's name, date, time, and location of recovery, item number and case number. B. When the small size or nature of the item collected will not permit complete information noted directly on the item, the container or an attached tag should be marked. VCUPD Written Directives Manual 7-3 Crime Scene Evidence Collection 6
7 C. Instruments that may be used for marking physical evidence include permanent markers (felt tip pens), scribes (diamond tip or awl), or where labels are used, ballpoint pens. D. The officer collecting the items of evidence is the person responsible for marking or labeling the item at the time it first comes into custody. E. Each officer/investigator should develop his/her own identifying mark. Normally, it shall be his/her initials, but it may be some other mark. F. Follow Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services, Bureau of Forensic Science, Physical Evidence Collection Guide. EVIDENCE PACKAGING A. The collecting officer should choose a container suitable to the type of evidence he/she intends to package. Some considerations include: 1. Size and weight of the item 2. Whether the item is moist (which could rot or deteriorate if packaged in plastic or airtight container) 3. Wet (soaked) items must be package in plastic and transported immediately 4. Use Property/Evidence Record for inventory B. Fluids or stains should not be allowed to touch and should be rolled in paper. Item should be packed to minimize interior movement within the package. C. The package should be sealed with tape. The collecting officer will initial across the seal. The exterior of the package should be labeled. Whenever possible, the package should be labeled before placing the evidence in it so as not to damage contents while writing on it. D. The collecting officer should follow the Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services Bureau of Forensics Science Physical Evidence Collection Guide. LATENT PRINTS A. When processing the crime scene for latent fingerprints, the officer/investigator shall take the following into consideration: 1. Size of the item to be dusted, 2. Type of surface, and 3. Potential for destruction, if moved. B. If a department member processes a crime scene for latent fingerprints, the latents must be packaged in the stamped envelopes provided by the Property Office. The latent envelope submissions must be filled out completely and submitted before the officer s end-of-shift on the day that the evidence is processed for latents. VCUPD Written Directives Manual 7-3 Crime Scene Evidence Collection 7
8 OVERALL MEASUREMENTS The obtaining of wall, room, and building measurements is one of the last operations to be performed in the processing of the crime scene. The overall measurements are vital in the production of the final crime scene sketch, but must be obtained last so as not to damage or destroy items of evidence. Take measurements by use of triangulation or coordinate method so that later one can exactly place the item of evidence at the crime scene. FINAL SEARCH A final search should be conducted at the crime scene in the event that some evidence may have been overlooked. When manpower is available, the final search should be conducted with some officers that have not previously been exposed to the crime scene. PRESERVATION OF PERISHABLE ITEMS A. When a rapidly deteriorating item of evidence has been collected, it should be transported to the forensic lab the same day, if at all possible. B. The laboratory should be called before the officer transports a perishable item to the lab. C. When immediate transport to the lab is not possible, the officer should refrigerate or air-dry the items of evidence. Evidence should never be stored under these conditions for more than a week. D. Many items submitted to the lab must be accompanied by a known specimen so a comparison can be made. The investigating officer will be responsible for obtaining any required known specimens, following legal procedures, and submitting them, along with other items of evidence, to the forensic lab for analysis and comparison. CHAIN OF CUSTODY A. It is imperative to maintain a proper chain of custody each time there is a transfer in physical evidence. The first person collecting the evidence will record the following: 1. Date and time of transfer 2. Receiving person's name 3. Reason for transfer 4. Name and location of the laboratory 5. Synopsis of event and examination requested 6. Date and time evidence returned, and 7. Synopsis of results of examination. VCUPD Written Directives Manual 7-3 Crime Scene Evidence Collection 8
9 B. It will be the investigating officer's responsibility to complete the Request for Laboratory Examination form and include it with the submitted evidence. 1. Any evidence submitted to the Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services, Bureau of Forensic Science, will be accompanied by a completed Request for Examination Form DCLS FS 002 (12079). 2. The bottom part of the request form is reserved for documentation of chain of custody, and must be completed by relinquishing officer a well as the receiving party at the lab. 3. The Bureau of Forensic Science provides written results on all requested examinations. 4. Once an officer has received confirmation that the evidence analysis is completed, they shall respond within two (2) weeks to pick up the same. 5. The officer shall utilize the VCUPD Evidence Form for acknowledgement of receipt and discharge from the Forensic Laboratory. 6. Once the form is completed, the officer shall turn in the same to the Property Division for record keeping. 7. The form shall be kept for a period of one (1) year. C. All evidence, after being properly marked and recorded, shall be submitted to the Property Unit or secured in an evidence locker. D. Evidence shall not be stored in a member's personal locker, mailbox or other area not specifically designated for the storage of evidence. E. Any member who needs to take evidence to a judicial function is responsible for making arrangements with the Evidence/Property Technician. F. The responsibility for safekeeping of evidence shall rest with the member who signs for its custody. G. All evidence shall be returned to the Property Unit or secured in an evidence locker, except when evidence is retained by the court. Under such circumstances, the officer is responsible for obtaining a written receipt from the Clerk of Court and returning the receipt to the Evidence/Property Technician. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS A. Failure to recover physical evidence or photograph scenes of serious crimes -- Whenever photographs are not taken or where physical evidence is not recovered from the scene of a serious crime against person or property, the investigating officer will prepare a report giving the reasons why these things were not done. This may be included in the supplemental report. B. Processing Stolen Vehicles -- anytime an officer of this department recovers a stolen vehicle, it shall be treated with the same care in processing for physical evidence as VCUPD Written Directives Manual 7-3 Crime Scene Evidence Collection 9
10 any other crime scene. As with any other recovered property, the owner shall be notified as well as the agency to which it was reported stolen, so that all necessary notification can be properly made. C. Inventory of Impounded Vehicles - The VCU Police Department will inventory all confiscated vehicles, which come into the agencies' possession. All areas of the vehicle and the contents of any closed containers therein, will be searched pursuant to this directive in order to ensure officer safety and property documentation. The list of all inventoried items will be placed on the agency's "Vehicle Impoundment Record" form. Items of value (TV's, stereos, money, etc.) will be turned over to the Property Office and documentation of such made on the form. D. Computer/electronic/cell phone evidence VCUPD officers shall be aware that computer/electronic evidence seized for the purposes of investigation can be rendered useless if collected, packaged and/or analyzed incorrectly. The IT Manager shall be called upon for assistance with items that could be compromised. Assistance from the RPD Technical Assistance and Computer Crimes Unit is also encouraged for investigations that rely upon electronic data sources. NOTE: Processing of electronic/computer/cell phone evidence shall be expeditious, within 72 hours whenever possible. These items shall be returned as soon as possible unless being held as evidence. TRAINING A. The training academy will periodically give training in crime scene procedures/processing, to both new and veteran officers when directed. This will familiarize and update the officers in: 1. Potential and limitations of examination of physical evidence. 2. The role of the officers at the crime scene. 3. Collection methods, procedures regarding fingerprints, footprints, blood, fibers, fabrics, weapons, hair, paint, glass, tool marks, and requirements for collection of materials from a known source for comparison purposes. 4. Preservation methods for various forms of physical evidence. 5. Maintaining the chain of custody, marking evidence, and maintaining evidence records. 6. The crime or accident scene sketch. 7. Crime or accident scene photography and 8. Crime or accident scene records B. These courses, together with information from the Training Academy and department directives, provide information for the officers in crime scene procedures and processing to update their knowledge concerning forensic laboratory capabilities, and acquaint them with new developments in equipment VCUPD Written Directives Manual 7-3 Crime Scene Evidence Collection 10
11 and examination techniques. In addition, newly appointed recruits are given training in crime scene procedures while in the Police Academy. C. Specialized courses are provided periodically to persons responsible for crime scene processing to develop the following skills: 1. Photographing crime or accident scenes 2. Preparing crime or accident scene sketches 3. Recovery of latent fingerprints or palm prints 4. Recovery of foot, tool, or tire impressions, and 5. Collecting, preserving, and transmitting physical evidence including biological materials. VCUPD Written Directives Manual 7-3 Crime Scene Evidence Collection 11
