The Scene of the Shooting Incident

In an ideal world the forensic scientist is called out to the scene during the earliest part of the investigation. This decision will, however, be left within the discretion of the senior police officer in charge of the investigation. For many years I have worked within a department offering a 24-h, 365-day on-call service for the 41 police forces in England and Wales, and the London area in more recent years.
