Forensic officers log their actions at a crime scene in a book. All evidence found is bagged and taken to the police station for investigation. The crime scene remains guarded by officers until the investigation is complete. The document then lists the various equipment forensic officers use, including fingerprinting equipment like powders, tapes, and lifting cards. They also use casting equipment like plaster of Paris and silicone to make casts of footprints or tire tracks. Photographic equipment includes cameras, lenses, film, and accessories. Measuring devices and evidence packaging supplies are also mentioned. The document provides details on blood collection supplies, deceased print kits to take fingerprints of the deceased, and biohazard kits for personal protective equipment.
