Personnel of Quezon CCPS led by PMAJ Mark Jordan Martinez, Deputy Chief of Police, as Team leader, responded to the shooting incident transpired in front of Gymnasium, Brgy Camp Castaneda, Silang, Cavite. The Victim was shot on his chest that resulted his instantaneous death. First responders from QCCPS immediately went to the crime scene. According to the statement of a bystander, the suspect was wearing black jacket and one wearing black tshirt and black helmet riding in motorcycle. Further investigation is being conducted in the incident in order to identify the suspects.
The Cadets use their theoretical understanding of addressing this kind of circumstance in conjunction with what they have learnt throughout the station immersion. The cadets were able to appropriately evaluate and process the crime scene with the necessary actions carried out thanks to PLTCOL APOLONARIO PALOMENO's guidance and wisdom.
PLTCOL APOLONARIO PALOMENO is guiding us through processing a crime scene following a shooting incident. Here's what we did, based on proper crime scene procedures:
1. Secure and Isolate the Area:
* Priority is to ensure everyone's safety. The cadets would establish a perimeter around the crime scene to prevent unauthorized access and contamination.
2. Document the Scene:
* Extensive photographs would be taken from various angles, capturing the overall scene, victim's position, and any potential evidence. Detailed notes would be made on weather conditions, time of day, location of bullet casings, and witness statements.
3. Sketch the Scene:
* A detailed sketch would be created, marking the location of the victim, bullet casings, skid marks, and any other relevant objects. This provides a visual record of the scene layout.
4. Locate and Examine Evidence:
* The cadets, under PLTCOL PALOMENO's guidance, would meticulously search for fingerprints, footprints, bullet casings, and any other objects that could be linked to the suspect(s).
5. Collect and Package Evidence:
* Following proper protocol, each piece of evidence would be carefully collected, documented, and placed in an appropriate container to maintain chain of custody.
6. Witness Interviews:
* Witness statements would be obtained, focusing on suspect descriptions, the sequence of events, and any other details that might aid the investigation.
7. Scene Release:
* Once a thorough processing is complete, the crime scene would be released, following proper documentation.
It's important to remember that these are general steps, and the specific actions taken by the cadets would depend on the intricacies of the crime scene.
