5. Act, Review & Re-Assess

Step 1. In a preliminary investigation, the officer must first attend to any injured parties and obtain proper care for them. This step includes checking vital signs, calling an ambulance, and working with EMTs if necessary.

Step 2. Next, the officer observes the scene. This observation includes the position of the victim, any items near the victim, and any unusual activities at the scene.

Step 3. Next, the officer will make a determination that a crime was committed. Once this occurs, the officer will begin enforcement action. Enforcement action includes pursuing an offender, making an arrest, or sending out an identifying description of the offender for other officers to utilize.

Step 4. Furthermore, the officer will secure the crime scene, making sure that any evidence is preserved and no one tampers with anything at the scene.

Step 5. Next, the officer will interview witnesses in order to obtain witness statements.

Step 6. Finally, the officer compiles a report of his or her work. All of this information is used in the formal post-crime scene investigation.
