CSI Crime Scene Investigation Unit

[+ Nick +]

The CSI ( Crime Scene Investigation ) is a crew assembled by criminologists, specialists, detectives and attorneys specialized in investigating crime scenes and giving a detailed briefing about the events occured on the scene.The CSI unit breaks down into two parts : Crime Scene Analysis and Forensic Science. While the crime scene analisys is tasked to investigate the scene and to find out as much information as possible while collecting evidence, the forensic science is dealing inside the laboratory to give further details regarding the case by extracting as much information as possible from the evidence.

Standart Procedure
The CSI arrives on the scene and makes sure it is secure. She does an initial walk-through to get an overall feel for the crime scene, finds out if anyone moved anything before she arrived, and generates initial theories based on visual examination. She makes note of potential evidence. At this point, she touches nothing.

The CSI thoroughly documents the scene by taking photographs and drawing sketches during a second walk-through. Sometimes, the documentation stage includes a video walk-through, as well. She documents the scene as a whole and documents anything she has identified as evidence. She still touches nothing.

Now it's time to touch stuff -- very, very carefully. The CSI systematically makes her way through the scene collecting all potential evidence, tagging it, logging it and packaging it so it remains intact on its way to the lab. Depending on the task breakdown of the CSI unit she works for and her areas of expertise, she may or may not analyze the evidence in the lab.

The crime lab processes all of the evidence the CSI collected at the crime scene. When the lab results are in, they go to the lead detective on the case.
