Caution!!!!!!

Please be aware of your surroundings at the crime scene. Make sure the witnesses are far away enough from the media and other witnesses so information will not conflict with what other witnesses thought happened. We do not want information leaking to the media so be careful.

Help!!!!!

When you are done with your role at the crime scene. Please help the Police Officers and CSI people with whatever they need help with. Do not sit around and do nothing until the rest of the Law Enforcement is finished. It is rude.
