Imagine you are applying for the role of the lead investigator on an investigative team. You will submit a video presentation detailing your course of action for handling a sexual assault crime. Your assessment and explanation of your action for handling the scene and investigating the crime will serve as the evaluation for this role. During the crime scene investigator phase, operate on the assumption that detectives have obtained the requisite search warrant for you to process all scenes and collect all evidence. Instructions: Addresses the following questions: 1. Briefly describe the scene that you are investigating. 2. Outline recommended steps for the first responder to follow upon arriving at the scene. 3. Present the actions you would take as the lead crime scene investigator of the crime scene. 4. Explain what evidence you would gather and search for. How would handle the evidence collection? Where you would collect the evidence from (especially regarding touch DNA, blood, and fingerprint). 5. In conclusion, why do you think your investigative plan would lend itself to a successful prosecution/case resolution?
