Perform a systematic search for physical evidence.

Performance should include

• different techniques for different environments (e.g., vehicles, homes, streets, fields)
• examples of search patterns
  • spiral (start from center and spiral outward, or opposite)
  • zone/quadrant
  • grid (i.e., create a grid and search one cell at a time)
  • straight line or column (i.e., shoulder-to-shoulder responsibility)
• specialized search tools
  • K-9
  • helicopter
  • boat, divers
  • volunteers
  • unmanned aircraft.

Process/Skill Questions:

• How does one determine the search method to be used?
• What factors should be considered when determining which search method to use?
• What are the ramifications for missing crucial evidence?
