Who does the assigned investigator notify if they require the services of the Crime Scene Unit?

The assigned investigator notifies the Detective Supervisor when they require the services of the Crime Scene Unit because this individual typically oversees the investigative process and ensures that the necessary resources, including specialized units like the Crime Scene Unit, are engaged appropriately. The Detective Supervisor is responsible for coordinating investigations, managing personnel, and ensuring that all investigative steps, including the collection and processing of evidence at the crime scene, are executed efficiently and effectively.

In many departments, the Detective Supervisor serves as the primary contact point for assigning tasks and resources, thereby facilitating the prompt response of the Crime Scene Unit to assist in the investigation. This chain of command is essential for maintaining organization and accountability in criminal investigations. Other options, while potentially involved in the process, would not be the primary point of notification for invoking the services of specialized support like the Crime Scene Unit.
