Crime Scene Investigation
When a crime occurs, the crime scene will tell a story about happened there. Investigators take pictures to show a preserved image of the scene. They use pictures to map the entry and exit points from the scene. Once they are done with photographs, they begin to collect evidence. Making sure that everything is properly stored and collected. The investigators then must develop a theory or conclusion based on the evidence found at the crime scene. By using photographs, the collection of evidence, and interviews, investigators can infer if a crime was committed and who was the tormenter.
Photographs last longer than the scene. They provide a layout of the scene. Photos preserve the area for further investigation. An investigator can find evidence that they might have missed. To take the photos, high-quality cameras are expended. “The camera most often used is the Digital SLR Camera.” (Crime Scene and Evidence Photography — Camera and Lighting).
These cameras have autofocus, reduced glare, and they have small, medium, and large photo sizes. Some of these cameras can cost as much as $5,200. These high-quality cameras are perfect to aiding prosecutors to clear the case.
Once the scene is accounted for by pictures, the CSI begins to collect potential evidence. Each article found can be stored in a different way. “Blood that is in liquid pools should be picked up on gauze pads or other sterile cotton cloth, and allowed to air dry thoroughly at room temperature.” (Evidence Collection Guidelines). Arson evidence should be stored in large airtight cans. Only large quantities of powder can be stored in plastic bags. This step in the process of investigating is extremely important. If someone fails to store the evidence properly, the evidence can be destroyed and unusable.
Immediately after the crime is analyzed investigators search for the suspect begins. The police will start their interviews at the witnesses. Then they will move to family members and possible suspects. It’s up to the police to decide if they are going to take them to the station to be interviewed or not. But usually, it is both. They interview witnesses at the scene. Then they ask suspects and family to go to the police station to be interviewed.
By using these basic steps, a crime is more likely to be cleared. Photographs are excellent in preserving the scene. The way that evidence is stored is a major role in the investigation as a whole. After all the work at the scene, interviews and develop a theory on who committed the crime. Crime Scene investigation is, although, the first step, it is one of the most important.
Making sure that everything is properly stored and collected.

Why is this essay posted?
What is its intent? I’m hoping very sincerely that it’s NOT your college application essay, since it tells us nothing abou you.
Right now it’s been posted for 9 hours. You can assume that the plagiarism checkers will mark it as plagiarized if and when you choose to hand it in electronically to any teacher or any college.
The parentheses at the end of the second paragraph lead me to believe you pulled it right from an internet article and forgot to erase the subheading.
Overall, my suggestion would be to start over.
