 CRIME SCENE SEARCH FOR BALLISTICS EXHIBIT

ACTIVITY NO______

I. OBJECTIVE

To enumerate the standard operating procedures in crime scene in searching ballistics exhibit that
are considered as physical evidence; to discriminate what method of search is applicable in a given crime
situation.

II. MATERIALS:

 Gun
 Slugs
 Cartridge cases
 Cartridge magazines

INTRODUCTION

The search of the scene to recover ballistics exhibits is vital in every stage of crime investigation.

Crimes where firearms were used, traces of in the form of fired bullets, fired shells, and firearms can be
recovered from the scene. These pieces of evidence are of value in tracing the perpetrators.

A. General Crime Scene Search Method

applicable.

1. Strip Method of Search

2. Double Strip Search

3. Spiral Method

4. Wheel Method

5. Zone Method
