DOJ Final Survey of the Crime Scene Mobile Form - GoCanvas

The final survey of a crime scene ensures that forensic evidence has been properly collected and the scene has been processed completely prior to release. In addition, a systematic review of the scene ensures that physical evidence, equipment, or materials generated by the investigation are not inadvertently left behind and any dangerous materials or conditions have been re-ported and addressed. The lead crime scene investigators can utilize this app to direct a detailed and thorough walk-through at the conclusion of the scene investigation and ensure that the scene investigation is complete. Having a properly processed crime scene is important for the final criminal investigation, and this app helps ensure that Department of Justice investigators and prosecutors, law enforcement agencies, crime labs, and other individuals can evaluate a crime scene properly before releasing the scene.

The DOJ Crime Scene Investigation series of app is intended for use by law enforcement and other responders who have responsibility for protecting crime scenes, preserving physical evidence, and collecting and submitting the evidence for scientific examination. Physical evidence has the potential to play a critical role in the overall investigation and resolution of a suspected criminal act. Realization of this potential depends on actions taken early in the criminal investigation at the crime scene.
