Who's at the Scene? Police officers are typically the first to arrive at a crime scene. They arrest the perpetrator is he's still there and call for an ambulance if necessary. They are responsible for securing the scene so no evidence is destroyed. The CSI unit documents the crime scene in detail and collects any physical evidence. The district attorney is often present to help determine if the investigators require any search warrants to proceed and obtain those warrants from a judge. The medical examiner (if a homicide) may or may not be present to Text 2 determine a preliminary cause of death. Specialists (entomologists, forensic scientists, Read the following age and answer theforensic questions below! psychologists) may be called in if the evidence requires expert analysis.

Language Focus Imperative Sentence A type of sentence that gives advice or instructions or that expresses a request or command. An imperative sentence typically begins with the base form of a verb. An imperative sentence ends with a period or an exclamation point. Examples:
Keep your accessories with you at all times. Always wear uniform on duty. Drive to the roundabout and then turn left. Crime scene should be protected. Get out! Take any evidence to the lab.
Modal Auxiliary Verbs A type of auxiliary verb that is used to indicate modality – that is, likelihood, ability, permission, and obligation. The verbs can, could, will, would, should, may, might, must, ought and shall are verbs which 'help' other verbs to express a meaning: it is important to realise that these "modal verbs" have no meaning by themselves. Modal verbs are NEVER used with other auxiliary verbs such as do, does, did etc. The negative is formed simply by adding "not" after the verb. The meanings are usually connected with ideas of DOUBT, CERTAINTY, POSSIBILITY and PROBABILITY, OBLIGATION and PERMISSION (or lack of these). Examples: Students may not borrow equipment without written permission. England might win the World Cup, you never know That can't be the right answer, it just doesn't make sense.

How a Crime Scene Investigation is Conducted The investigation of a crime scene begins when the investigators unit receives a call from the police officers or detectives on the scene. The overall system works something like this:
The investigators arrive on the scene and makes sure it is secure. They do an initial walk-through to get an overall feel for the crime scene, finds out if anyone moved anything before they arrived, and generates initial theories based on visual examination. They make note of potential evidence. At this point, they touch nothing. The investigators thoroughly document the scene by taking photographs and drawing sketches during a second walk-through. Sometimes, the documentation stage includes a video walkthrough, as well. They document the scene as a whole and document anything they have identified as evidence. They still touch nothing. Exercise 3 Now it's time to touch stuff, very carefully. The investigators A.

Text 4 A key part in modern criminal investigation is played by DNA testing. This activity is based on materials from the UK Forensic Science Service (FSS). www.fss.org.uk
These are two of their FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions. Q: Can a DNA profile ever be exclusive to one person? A: Apart from the case of genetically identical twins, the DNA contained in every person’s cells is different from that contained by any other person. The FSS looks at eleven information sites using the current DNA profiling technique. Q: What is the best reference sample to submit – a blood sample, a buccal scrape or hair sample? A: DNA can be extracted from any cells that contain a structure called the nucleus. This is where the DNA resides within the cell.
body tissue cells. The choice of the appropriate reference sample depends on the case. The DNA unit would prefer to receive blood samples because of the ease of processing. Alternative samples such as buccal scrapes (as used for the National DNA Database) or hair samples (pulled) may be taken. The Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) gives the police powers to take buccal scrapes or hair roots (non-intimate samples), by force, in certain circumstances and with the authority of a very senior police officer.

Date of Report: 05
April 2001 Incident: Vehicle Theft Reporting Officer: Constable Ranjit Singh At about 1040 hours on 5th April 2001, I met with Ms. Vanessa Price at 61 South Chorley Drive regarding a vehicle theft. Ms. Price said she parked her car by a parking meter outside Chorley Leisure Centre at about 0945 hours and went into a nearby shop to return a faulty torch she had purchased the previous day. She said that when she returned to the leisure centre at about 1000 hours, she discovered her car was missing. Ms. Price described her car as a maroon, 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse with a black convertible roof. The car registration number is GTL-682-P. She estimated the value of the car at ₤8,500 and said there were no distinguishing marks or items. Ms. Price told me she locked the car, but she does not have the keys. She now believes she may have left the keys in the boot lock after removing the faulty torch from the boot. Ms. Price said she gave no one permission to take her car, and she is up to date with her loan repayments.
34
I conducted a survey of the crime scene but found no items of evidence. I saw no broken glass in the area, and there were no items to retrieve or photograph. I obtained a sworn statement from Ms. Price and provided her with the case number and Information Leaflet 99/07 ("What to do when your car is stolen"). I entered the vehicle into the station database as a stolen vehicle. I also searched the area but was unable to find the vehicle. Frankie Meehan www.tesoltasks.com/PoliceReport.htm

Who's at the Scene? Police officers are typically the first to arrive at a crime scene. They arrest the perpetrator is he's still there and call for an ambulance if necessary. They are responsible for securing the scene so no evidence is destroyed. The CSI unit documents the crime scene in detail and collects any physical evidence. The district attorney is often present to help determine if the investigators require any search warrants to proceed and obtain those warrants from a judge. The medical examiner (if a homicide) may or may not be present to Text 2 determine a preliminary cause of death. Specialists (entomologists, forensic scientists, Read the following age and answer theforensic questions below! psychologists) may be called in if the evidence requires expert analysis.

Language Focus Imperative Sentence A type of sentence that gives advice or instructions or that expresses a request or command. An imperative sentence typically begins with the base form of a verb. An imperative sentence ends with a period or an exclamation point. Examples:
Keep your accessories with you at all times. Always wear uniform on duty. Drive to the roundabout and then turn left. Crime scene should be protected. Get out! Take any evidence to the lab.
Modal Auxiliary Verbs A type of auxiliary verb that is used to indicate modality – that is, likelihood, ability, permission, and obligation. The verbs can, could, will, would, should, may, might, must, ought and shall are verbs which 'help' other verbs to express a meaning: it is important to realise that these "modal verbs" have no meaning by themselves. Modal verbs are NEVER used with other auxiliary verbs such as do, does, did etc. The negative is formed simply by adding "not" after the verb. The meanings are usually connected with ideas of DOUBT, CERTAINTY, POSSIBILITY and PROBABILITY, OBLIGATION and PERMISSION (or lack of these). Examples: Students may not borrow equipment without written permission. England might win the World Cup, you never know That can't be the right answer, it just doesn't make sense.

How a Crime Scene Investigation is Conducted The investigation of a crime scene begins when the investigators unit receives a call from the police officers or detectives on the scene. The overall system works something like this:
The investigators arrive on the scene and makes sure it is secure. They do an initial walk-through to get an overall feel for the crime scene, finds out if anyone moved anything before they arrived, and generates initial theories based on visual examination. They make note of potential evidence. At this point, they touch nothing. The investigators thoroughly document the scene by taking photographs and drawing sketches during a second walk-through. Sometimes, the documentation stage includes a video walkthrough, as well. They document the scene as a whole and document anything they have identified as evidence. They still touch nothing.

Text 4 A key part in modern criminal investigation is played by DNA testing. This activity is based on materials from the UK Forensic Science Service (FSS). www.fss.org.uk
These are two of their FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions. Q: Can a DNA profile ever be exclusive to one person? A: Apart from the case of genetically identical twins, the DNA contained in every person’s cells is different from that contained by any other person. The FSS looks at eleven information sites using the current DNA profiling technique. Q: What is the best reference sample to submit – a blood sample, a buccal scrape or hair sample? A: DNA can be extracted from any cells that contain a structure called the nucleus. This is where the DNA resides within the cell.
body tissue cells. The choice of the appropriate reference sample depends on the case. The DNA unit would prefer to receive blood samples because of the ease of processing. Alternative samples such as buccal scrapes (as used for the National DNA Database) or hair samples (pulled) may be taken. The Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) gives the police powers to take buccal scrapes or hair roots (non-intimate samples), by force, in certain circumstances and with the authority of a very senior police officer.

Text 3 Read the text below. Case Number: VT 05/04/01/3462
Date of Report: 05
April 2001 Incident: Vehicle Theft Reporting Officer: Constable Ranjit Singh At about 1040 hours on 5th April 2001, I met with Ms. Vanessa Price at 61 South Chorley Drive regarding a vehicle theft. Ms. Price said she parked her car by a parking meter outside Chorley Leisure Centre at about 0945 hours and went into a nearby shop to return a faulty torch she had purchased the previous day. She said that when she returned to the leisure centre at about 1000 hours, she discovered her car was missing. Ms. Price described her car as a maroon, 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse with a black convertible roof. The car registration number is GTL-682-P. She estimated the value of the car at ₤8,500 and said there were no distinguishing marks or items. Ms. Price told me she locked the car, but she does not have the keys. She now believes she may have left the keys in the boot lock after removing the faulty torch from the boot. Ms. Price said she gave no one permission to take her car, and she is up to date with her loan repayments.
34
I conducted a survey of the crime scene but found no items of evidence. I saw no broken glass in the area, and there were no items to retrieve or photograph. I obtained a sworn statement from Ms. Price and provided her with the case number and Information Leaflet 99/07 ("What to do when your car is stolen"). I entered the vehicle into the station database as a stolen vehicle. I also searched the area but was unable to find the vehicle. Frankie Meehan www.tesoltasks.com/PoliceReport.htm
