Index I feel very comfortable in saying that criminal investigators throughout our law enforcement community universally agree that the importance of quality crime scene investigations cannot be overemphasized. Criminal investigators must be able to identify and collect items of evidentiary value left at the crime scene in order to better piece together events surrounding the crime and to identify perpetrators and sometimes victims. It is essential, then, that crime scene personnel take all means necessary to ensure the integrity of evidence collected in order to avoid legal restrictions that may prevent the introduction of such evidence at trial or the development of a solid case for prosecution. The content of this book speaks to issues in crime scene processing that are important, addressing techniques and applications that apply. It tells you what you need to know, what you need to do, and how to do it. The methods and procedures used in crime scene processing, as presented here by Ross Gardner, combine the collective knowledge of other experts and practitioners in the field as well as his own practical experiences garnered over more than two decades of work as an active criminal investigator and some four years as a police chief. I had the pleasure of serving as his executive manager for six and one-half years during his special agent investigator tenure. I am convinced that it is essential that all officers and investigative personnel have a solid understanding of professionally accepted crime scene protocols in order that their agency can take full advantage of today’s sophisticated laboratory techniques and technologies. This book can play a significant role in helping responsible, concerned individuals realize that objective.
