1 VANCOUVER POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT TO THE VANCOUVER POLICE BOARD REPORT DATE: August 30, 2013 BOARD MEETING DATE: September 17, 2013 BOARD REPORT # 1309V09 Regular TO: FROM: Vancouver Police Board Jim Chu, Chief Constable SUBJECT: Amendments to Regulations and Procedures Manual Section 1.9.7: Exhibits Requiring Forensic Examination RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that: 1. The proposed amendments to the Regulations and Procedures Manual (RPM) be submitted to the Vancouver Police Board (VPB) for their consideration and approval, and subsequent forwarding to Police Services as required by Section 28 of the Police Act; and 2. This file be concluded. SUMMARY: Section 1.9.7: Exhibits Requiring Forensic Examination of the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) RPM outlines procedures for members when they are seizing exhibits that require forensic examination. Due to the significant evidentiary value that these exhibits often contain, it is important that best practices are closely followed to preserve their integrity. RPM Section is out of date, which has been causing confusion for members when they are required to tag items for follow-up by the Forensic Identification Unit (FIU), the Forensic Firearms and Tool Mark Unit (FFTMU), the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Forensic Laboratory, or the Hit & Run Unit. POLICY/BACKGROUND: RPM Section was last amended in 2002, and as such required extensive updating. 1
2 DISCUSSION: Various subject matter experts provided significant input into the correct wording of the policy, and clarified the procedures regarding forensic exhibit submission to the FIU, FFTMU, the RCMP lab, and the VPD Property Office so that they can be easily understood and followed by members. Some redundant or unnecessary passages were removed, resulting in a much more streamlined procedure that relays all of the pertinent information in a more concise manner. CONCLUSION: The correct handling and disposition of exhibits requiring forensic examination is a significant step in preserving the integrity of various types of evidence. As such, it is important that RPM Section be up to date, as members should be following best practices wherever possible. The proposed amendments will serve to clarify procedure and avoid any confusion that members may have experienced in the past when handling exhibits of this type. Author: Cst. Megan Price Telephone: Date: Aug.30, 2013 Submitting Executive Member: Adam Palmer, Deputy Chief Constable Date: August 30,
