ABSTRACT
Control of the Scene Investigation is an important part of the job description of loss prevention and the duties assigned to that department. Whether the location of the occurrence is an accident or crime scene, certain precautions must take place, depending on the situation or the seriousness of the occurrence. Once the emergency situation is under control, such as a fire extinguished or an injured person attended to and removed from the scene, the security officer should then attempt to preserve the scene as much as it was when the occurrence took place. Since a scene of importance needs to be controlled as much as possible, the security officer cannot do all that needs to be done without some help. If other security officers are not present to assist, a responsible employee or manager can be utilized to help protect the scene.
