3-2 Criminal Investigations Journal: Field Notes and Report

You are one of the first responding officers to a possible double homicide scene at 123 Main Street in Hometown, New Hampshire. Upon your arrival, another officer confirms that there are two subjects inside the home who are deceased and it appears there has been foul play.

Your sergeant directed you to secure the outside of the home's perimeter with crime scene tape. You have successfully completed this task. After securing the scene, you turn to documenting the event. Compile a set of comprehensive field notes as you review the following photographs. Include a chronological description of the event, dwelling, vehicles, weather conditions, and descriptions of everything you are viewing inside the area that has been cordoned off with crime scene tape. Include any sketches illustrating positioning as needed. List any evidence you believe should be collected and preserved.

Your notes may contain any observations or opinions of a personal nature, but these opinions should be based upon facts. For example, Jane Doe staggered when exiting the car and vomited, smelled of alcohol, and had slurred speech. Based on these observations, an officer can form an opinion that she was intoxicated.

After completing your field notes, prepare a written report on the crime event using the Crime Report Template. The shaded areas on the form are not required. Attach a copy of this form when you submit your assignment.
