Processing a crime scene is critical to the success of the forensic analysis of the evidence and the final result of a case in court.

In some agencies, forensic scientists will process crime scenes and collect evidence as well as conduct the forensic analysis back at the lab.

In other agencies, numerous individuals are involved, with teams of crime scene technicians processing the scene, and then turning the evidence over to separate teams of forensic scientists for analysis.

Post your thoughts on the differences between the two approaches. Discuss the reasons for choosing one over the other, advantages and disadvantages, and which one you would put in place if you were the decision maker.
