Original Prompt

I need to prepare a case file template for a crime scene investigation final for High School Forensic Science. Tasks they have learned are: photography, observing/searching for evidence, eye witness interviewing, blood spatter, and an introduction to evidence collection with some trace evidence.

This resource outlines the processes and documentation required for a thorough crime scene investigation. It includes essential elements such as case overview, crime scene sketch, photography documentation, and evidence collection protocols. The document emphasizes the importance of proper forensic photography techniques, providing guidelines on capturing overall, mid-range, and close-up shots of evidence. It also covers initial assessments, witness interviews, blood spatter analysis, and gives an opportunity to justify evidence prioritization and preliminary connections observed during the investigation. The structured format aids learners in effectively logging and analyzing details critical to the investigation.
