Criminal Investigation “101”

What is the one thing that every investigation requires?

RESEARCH

• Research in police work is key.

Research in Life• SCHOOL• HOME• CARS• ILLNESS• ROMANCE

3 Basic Components of Investigations

• Physical evidence• Witness statements• Suspect confessions

Physical evidence

• Forensics• Hair/Fibers/Trace evidence• Weapons (if used)• Computers/Cell phones• Related documents

Witness statements

• Eye witness—who saw what?• Material witness—someone with information related to the case.• Victim statements—Yes, victims are witnesses

too.

Suspect Confessions

• “The nail in the coffin” • Answers any/all forensic questions• Gives the DA a “slam dunk”.

We clear cases by conviction, not by arrest.
