Creating the Crime Scene Guides: Technical Working Groups
Each of these guides was developed collectively by a separate Technical Working Group — multidisciplinary groups of content-area experts from across the United States, from both urban and rural jurisdictions, each representing his or her respective agency or practice. Each of these individuals is experienced in the area of crime scene investigation and evidence collection in the criminal justice system from the standpoints of law enforcement, prosecution, defense or forensic science.
