The three types of crime scenes (outdoor, indoor, and conveyance) all have specific protection and collection considerations. The seven step protocol is a general guideline used for securing and processing a crime scene.

Locating evidence at the scene may require the use of multiple methods and approaches. Documenting the scene is continuous and includes detailed notes, photography, sketches and diagrams.
