14 TWO of FOUR PATTERNS Crime Scene Search Patterns Strip or Line Quadrant or Zone 14

15 Crime Scene Mapping (outdoors) Azimuth--uses a compass beam to determine the location of each piece of evidence Triangulation--uses uses two points at the crime scene to map each piece of evidence Coordinate or grid--divides divides the crime scene into squares for mapping. Suspended d d Polar Coordinate--for use in mapping evidence in a hole Baseline--set a north/south line and measures each piece of evidence from this line. 15

16 AZIMUTH Determines: Direction Distance Elevation 16

17 TRIANGULATION Measure from A to B and then to the evidence in a triangular shape. 17

18 Coordinate or GidM Grid Mapping Set a north/south line from a datum point established by a GPS. Make it a perfect square (4 x 4) by shooting the hypotenuse and setting in stakes every foot or meter. Measure and map the location of each piece of evidence. Then collect evidence and place in containers by grid. 18

19 Baseline Mapping Set a north/south line from the furthest most points of the crime scene. Then measure each piece of evidence from that baseline. Evidence will need a numerical measurement where the piece begins, ends and in the middle. Evidence Baseline 19

20 Suspended Polar Coordinate Measure and map each layer of evidence as you move down the hole. Use the compass readings from the top to measure degrees and a tank dipping line to measure depth. 20

21 The latest technology includes this Nikon Tsunami with computer. The exact location of all crime evidence can be determined and directly loaded into a computer to produce a crime scene map. Cost = $35,000 for the set. MAPPING TECHNOLOGY 21
