Checklist App for Scene Examination!

The Forensic Institute for Research and Education (FIRE) has developed a smartphone app for first responding officers on crime scenes called CASE (Checklist App for Scene Examination). The most pristine a crime scene will ever be is when the first responder arrives, and the CASE app uses a checklist approach with smartphone technology to document evidence at risk to loss or alteration before proper processing. Additionally, all departmental, jurisdictional, and governmental policies and procedures should supersede app checklist procedures.
