The First Hour Field Guide

Something's gone wrong on site. Do you know exactly what to do, in what order, in the first 60 minutes?

The first hour decides the whole investigation. Evidence gets moved, witnesses go home, and memories start to change. This free 6-page field guide gives you the steps, in order, so nothing gets missed.

What you'll get:

• The First Hour Checklist: minute by minute, from arrival to handover
• Securing the scene: define, contain and control, with a scene diagram
• Who to notify, and when: external and internal, plus space for your site's numbers
• Witnesses: the first steps: before they scatter or talk it over
