Crime Scene Report Audits  Tweet

Every crime scene has to be dealt with according to certain protocols. Although each police force in the world (and in the UK) have their specific rules, some basic guidelines are universal.

 If you believe that a crime scene that you (or your client) are connected with, in a criminal case, has not been handled properly, Strathclyde Forensics can provide you with a Crime Scene Audit Report.

This report will be a step by step evaluation of the people who were involved in the crime scene investigation, the procedures used, and the records kept. If there are any irregularities, they will be found and reported. A tiny irregularity may render a whole group of evidence inadmissible in court.

If your crime scene involves electronic equipment and electronic evidence, it is imperative to verify that the police have done their job properly, and that the evidence was preserved at every stage of the investigation.

Every crime scene report is potentially a source of irregularities and discrepancies.

If the crime scene concerns you, it is in your best interest to have it scrutinised. If it concerns your client, it is your duty to do your due diligence as early as possible in the case.
