Crime Scene Investigation Competition
The Crime Scene Investigation competition is designed to test preliminary investigative skills in a situation which requires an eye for detail, thorough notes, and a diligent investigative mindset.
Hotel rooms are generally used for this event, acting as a site where a simulated crime has occurred. Participants will compete in three-member teams (no exceptions). Teams may consist of individuals from more than one chapter. Teams will be sent to the scene of the crime in their pre-registered time slot. Each team will have a maximum of fifteen 15 minutes to complete their on-scene investigation. The team will then go into a controlled environment to prepare their written report for no longer than 45 minutes. Teams will be judged on their narrative report, evidence log, crime scene map, and other factors. Participants are highly encouraged to review the Crime Scene Investigation Law Enforcement Handbook.pdf to understand the best practices and standards for law enforcement identification, collection, and analysis of crime scene evidence. This is an unofficial (but helpful) resource that can serve as a general guide for crime scene processing—full technical comprehension of the document is not required. |
