Evidence
Response Team (ERT)
Mission
The Evidence Response Team (ERT) mission is to identify, document, collect,
and preserve evidence supporting all FBI cases. These highly-trained and
equipped teams operate at a high level of competence to ensure evidence
is collected in such a manner that it can be introduced in courts throughout
the U. S. and the world. ERTs strive to be the model for crime scene processing
from the standpoint of safety, expertise, training, equipment, and ability.
The ERT can provide assistance in any area of evidence collection management
from traditional search warrants to complex crime scenes. ERTs are especially
valuable dealing with large or complicated scenes, cases with multiple
scenes, and cases that are multi-jurisdictional. When resources permit,
and Special Agents in Charge (SAC) authorize, ERTs can assist other agencies
by processing crime scenes, conducting searches, and providing training
courses.
