Crime Scene Protocol refers to the established procedures that law enforcement and forensic teams follow when investigating a crime scene. This protocol ensures that evidence is collected, preserved, and documented properly to maintain its integrity. Key steps include securing the area, preventing contamination, and recording the scene through photographs and sketches. Once the scene is secured, investigators collect physical evidence, such as fingerprints, DNA, and weapons. Each item is carefully labeled and stored to maintain a clear chain of custody. Following these protocols is crucial for successful prosecution and helps ensure that justice is served in cases involving criminal activity.
