7 S's of crime scene worksheet

This resource outlines the 7 S's of Crime Scene Investigation, a systematic approach that crime scene investigators follow to process a scene effectively. The first four steps include Securing the Scene to ensure safety and prevent contamination, Segregating the Witnesses to control access and maintain the integrity of testimonies, Scanning the Scene for an initial overall observation to identify potential evidence, and Seeing the Scene which involves a detailed examination of specific elements and pieces of evidence. Additionally, the resource covers the final three steps: Sketching, Searching, and Seizing, which encompass creating diagrams, conducting thorough searches, and properly collecting physical evidence. The document also includes a practical application section to help reinforce understanding of the 7 S's through real-life scenarios.
