• Postconviction DNA Testing: Recommendations for Handling Requests (09/1999; 134 pp)
  Author: National Cmssn on the Future of DNA Evidence
  Abstract: These guidelines have been unanimously approved by the National Commission on the Future of DNA Evidence. Created in 1998 at the request of Attorney General Janet Reno, the Commission's charge was to submit recommendations to the Attorney General that will help ensure more effective use of DNA as a crime-fighting tool and foster its use throughout the entire criminal justice system. The broad scope of input enabled the Commission to develop recommendations that both maximize the investigative value of DNA technology and address the issues raised by the application of a powerful technology. As a framework for the recommendations, five broad case categories are identified. The manual also discusses the kinds of legal issues that have already arisen and others that will probably develop as applications for postconviction DNA testing continue to be made and the technology to conduct those tests advances. Biological issues in the collection and development of DNA evidence are also considered. The recommendations for handling requests for postconviction DNA testing focus on the responsibilities for prosecutors, defense counsel, the judiciary, victim assistance, and laboratory personnel. A glossary and appended resource list, State statutes on notification of victims, sample DNA test brochure, a report of the working group on postconviction issues, a subject index, and a case index.

• U.S. Customs Personal Search Handbook (November 1999 Edition)
  Author: Department of Treasury, US Customs Service (Rev. Nov. 1999)
  Abstract: An invaluable tool for evaluating and litigating personal searches conducted by Customs Agents at ports of entry. Includes forms on which Customs personnel must acknowledge receipt of the Handbook and training regarding it. From preliminary discovery motions, execution of those forms by a Customs witness should permit cross-examination on the procedures mandated in the Handbook. Also addressed are: cause required for personal searches (from weapons pat-downs to medical exams), rules for detaining people, when warnings must be given, and forms to be completed during or when reporting a search. The Handbook directs, “Never use a person’s gender, race, color, religion or ethnic background as a factor in determining any level of suspicion.” That one sentence alone is reason enough to have a copy.

• Preventing Gang- and Drug-Related Witness Intimidation (2000 Edition; 154 pp)
  Author: Abt Associates, Inc., Cambridge, MA.; National Inst. of Justice, Washington, DC.
  Abstract: Many police officers and prosecutors have become increasingly frustrated by their inability to investigate and prosecute cases successfully when key witnesses refuse to provide critical evidence or to testify because they fear retaliation by the defendant or his family and friends. This problem is particularly acute, and apparently increasing, in gang- and drug-related criminal cases. Witnesses' refusal to cooperate with investigations and prosecutions should be a major concern: it adversely affects the justice system's functioning while simultaneously eroding public confidence in the government's ability to protect citizens. This report describes how several jurisdictions have carried out these victim/witness security strategies. It offers a blueprint for combining these discrete approaches into a comprehensive, structured program to protect witnesses and help ensure their cooperation with the justice system. Investigators and prosecutors can benefit by the approaches discussed here, which their colleagues have undertaken, to help ensure that offenders do not go unpunished and communities do not lose faith in the justice system.

• Department of Defense Non-Lethal Weapons and Equipment Review: A Research Guide for Civil Law Enforcement and Corrections (2002; 72 pp)
  Author: National Security Research, Inc
  Abstract: Protecting suspects, prisoners, the general public, and themselves is an important goal for law enforcement officials. This report evaluates less-than-lethal weapons and technologies designed for use by police, sheriff, and corrections departments. Noting that this report, from the Department of Defense Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Program, is to be used to aid law enforcement officials in selecting effective non-lethal (NL) and less-than-lethal LTL weaponry, the authors detail the DOD’s NL/LTL equipment selection process. Following a discussion of the organizational structure and purpose of the DOD’s Joint NL Weapons Program, the authors define NL weapons as those that seek to incapacitate individuals while minimizing fatalities. Brief descriptions of the development of the NL weapons programs of the United States’ Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Special Operations Command, Coast Guard, and Civil Law Enforcement departments is followed by a series of appendices detailing the various types of non-lethal weapons employed by each of these branches of law enforcement and protection services. Photographs, costs, descriptions, operational capabilities and use, and manufacturing information for each weapon are presented as well. NL weapons and equipment included within these appendices include non-ballistic face and body shields, ballistic shields, various batons, bullhorns, high intensity lights and accessories, disposable restraint systems, riot control gear, shotguns, grenades, obscuring smoke devices, and arrest barriers.

• Forensic Examination of Digital Evidence: A Guide for Law Enforcement ( 2004 Edition; 101 pgs)
  Author: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
  Abstract: This document presents a guide for use by law enforcement officers responsible for the examination of digital evidence. The guide deals with common situations encountered during the examination of digital evidence. It is a guide agencies can use to help them develop their own policies and procedures. When dealing with digital evidence, general forensic and procedural principles should be applied. Actions taken to secure and collect digital evidence should not affect the integrity of that evidence. Persons conducting an examination of digital evidence should be trained for that purpose. Activity relating to the seizure, examination, storage, or transfer of digital evidence should be documented, preserved, and available for review. The examiner should be cognizant of the need to conduct an accurate and impartial examination of the digital evidence. Digital evidence is fragile and can be altered, damaged, or destroyed by improper handling or examination. Examination is best conducted on a copy of the original evidence. The original evidence should be acquired in a manner that protects and preserves the integrity of the evidence. The purpose of the examination process is to extract and analyze digital evidence. Extraction refers to the recovery of data from its media. Analysis refers to the interpretation of the recovered data and putting it in a logical and useful format. Actions and observations should be documented throughout the forensic processing of evidence. Agencies likely to handle digital evidence should identify appropriate external resources for the processing of digital evidence before they are needed. These resources should be readily available for situations that are beyond the technical expertise or resources of the department. Agencies should also develop policies and procedures to ensure compliance with Federal, State, and local laws. The basic steps to conduct a computer forensic examination are policy and procedure development, evidence assessment, evidence acquisition, evidence examination, and documenting and reporting. 8 appendices.

• Crime Scene Investigation: A Reference for Law Enforcement Training (June 2004) (69pg)
  Author: US Department of Justice

  Abstract: Intended to accompany "Crime Scene Investigation: A Guide for Law Enforcement" (National Institute of Justice, 2000), this reference material can assist trainers and administrators in developing training programs for crime scene investigators. The curriculum materials provide instructors with a framework grounded in research and based in the expertise of the members of the National Institute of Justice's Technical Working Group on Crime Scene Investigation. The curriculum materials are divided into five major sections that address arriving at the scene: initial response/prioritization of efforts, preliminary documentation and evaluation of the scene, processing the scene, completing and recording the crime scene investigation, and crime scene equipment. Lessons that pertain to the initial response and prioritization when arriving at the crime scene cover the following: initial response/receipt of information, safety procedures, emergency care, secure and control persons at the scene, establishment and preservation of scene boundaries, the transfer of control of the scene to the investigators in charge, and documentation of actions and observations at the scene. Lessons on preliminary documentation and evaluation of the scene focus on the scene assessment and scene "walk-through" and initial documentation. Lessons related to scene processing include determination of team composition; ensuring contamination control; documentation of the scene; prioritization of the collection of evidence; and collecting, preserving, inventorying, packaging, transporting, and submitting evidence. Lessons on completing and recording the crime scene investigation involve establishing the crime scene debriefing team, performing a final survey of the crime scene, and documentation of the crime scene. Lessons on crime scene equipment cover the equipment needed by the initial responding officers, the crime scene investigator/evidence technician, and evidence collection kits. An outline of the objective and material for each lesson is provided.

• Death Investigation: A Guide for the Scene Investigator (rev. 11/1999) (71 pg)
  Author: US Department of Justice
  Abstract: The introduction cautions that this handbook is intended as a guide to recommended practices for the investigation of death scenes, since jurisdictional, logistical, or legal conditions may preclude the use of particular procedures contained in the handbook. The foreword consists of brief commentaries by 17 professionals in the field regarding the need for guidelines for death investigations. This is followed by an introductory paper that describes the procedure used to develop the guidelines. The guidelines themselves begin with a section on investigative tools and equipment, followed by a section with guidelines for the performance of tasks to be done immediately upon arriving at the death scene. A section on documenting and evaluating the scene covers photographing the scene; the development of descriptive documentation of the scene; the establishment of probable location of injury or illness; the collection, inventorying, and safeguarding of property and evidence; and interviewing witnesses at the scene. Other sections of the guidelines focus on documenting and evaluating the body, establishing and recording decedent profile information, and completing the scene investigation. The format for each guideline consists of the principle to be applied, authorization, policy, procedure, and a summary.

• Eyewitness Evidence: A Guide for Law Enforcement. – Research Report (1999 Edition; 55 pp)
  Author: Technical Working Group for Eyewitness Evidence, Washington, DC.; National Inst. of Justice, Washington, DC.
  Abstract: The legal system always has relied on the testimony of eyewitnesses. Although the evidence eyewitnesses provide can be tremendously helpful in developing leads, identifying criminals, and exonerating the innocent, this evidence is not infallible. Even honest and well-meaning witnesses can make errors, such as identifying the wrong person or failing to identify the perpetrator of a crime. To their credit, the legal system and law enforcement agencies have not overlooked this problem. Numerous courts and rulemaking bodies have, at various times, designed and instituted special procedures to guard against eyewitness mistakes. Most State and local law enforcement agencies have established their own policies, practices, and training protocols with regard to the collection and handling of eyewitness evidence, many of which are quite good. In the past, these procedures have not integrated the growing body of psychological knowledge regarding eyewitness evidence with the practical demands of day-to-day law enforcement, lawyers, and researchers. The purpose of the group was to recommend uniform practices for the collection and preservation of eyewitness evidence.

• Guide for Explosion and Bombing Scene Investigation (2000 Edition; 62 pp)
  Author: National Inst. of Justice, Washington, DC.
  Abstract The investigation conducted at the scene of an explosion or bombing plays a vital role in uncovering the truth about the incident. The evidence recovered can be critical in identifying, charging, and ultimately convicting suspected criminals. For this reason, it is absolutely essential that the evidence be collected in a professional manner that will yield successful laboratory analyses. One way of ensuring that we, as investigators, obtain evidence of the highest quality and utility is to follow sound protocols in our investigations. Recent cases in the criminal justice system have brought to light the need for heightened investigative practices at all crime scenes. In order to raise the standard of practice in explosion and bombing investigations of both small and large scale, in both rural and urban jurisdictions, the National Institute of Justice teamed with the National Center for Forensic Science at the University of Central Florida to initiate a national effort. Together they convened a technical working group of law enforcement and legal practitioners, bomb technicians and investigators, and forensic laboratory analysts to explore the development of improved procedures for the identification, collection, and preservation of evidence at explosion and bombing scenes.

  (2002 Edition; 38 pp)
  Author: Drug Enforcement Administration, Washington, DC
  Abstract: The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is pleased to provide the Chemical Handler's Manual to assist you in understanding the provisions of the chemical control laws and their implementing regulations. These laws, including the Chemical Diversion and Trafficking Act of 1988, the Domestic Chemical Diversion Control Act of 1993, the Comprehensive Methamphetamine Control Act of 1996, and the Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act (part of the Children's Health Act of 2000) amend the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (CSA). This manual will answer questions you may have concerning your responsibilities under the Controlled Substances Act and provide you with guidance in complying with its regulations. It is also a resource for industry, law enforcement, regulators, and others interested in chemical control. Drug abuse damages individuals and families and diminishes the fabric of a community and nation. Drug traffickers, motivated by the desire for profit, are eager to divert chemicals from legitimate commerce to manufacture illicit controlled substances. The chemical control laws and regulations provide a strong and effective deterrence. Your adherence to the law and active support for diversion control make you an important partner in protecting our nation's health and safety.

• Sentencing and Dispositions of Youth DUI and Other Alcohol Offenses: A Guide for Judges and Prosecutors (1999 Edition; 76 pp)
  Author: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Washington, DC.; National Inst. on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, Bethesda, MD
  Abstract: This Guide is intended to help judges and presecutors to more effectively sanction juveniles and youths for alcohol-related offenses, work more cooperatively with administrative agencies and community organizations, and define a role for themselves outside the courtroom in preventing underage drinking and other alcohol-related offenses. Judges and prosecutors face many challenges in their efforts to reduce underage drinking and other alcohol-related driving offenses. Only a small percentage of these offenses ever come before the court. Judges and prosecutors can effectively sanction those underage alcohol offenders that do come before the court and send a consistent message to those who do not by dealing with each case in a manner that will protect the public, hold offenders accountable to the victim and/or community, and provide education or treatment services for the offender. A good disposition will meet all three of these objectives concurrently. Drinking and driving poses serious risks. To reduce impaired driving among youth, all States and the District of Columbia now have a mininum legal drinking age of 21 and zero tolerance laws. It is important that judges and prosecutors pay close attention to all alcohol-related offenses, including underage purchase, possession, and consumption of alcohol.

• DWI Detection & Standardized Field Sobriety Testing--
  Student Manual (rev. 2004) & Instructor Manual (rev. 2004)
  Author: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
  Abstract: The procedures outlines in this manual describe how the Standarized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) are to be administered under ideal conditions. The authors recognize that the SFSTs will not always be administered under ideal conditions in the field, because such conditions will not always exist. Even when administered under less than ideal conditions, they will generally serve as valid and useful indicators of impairment. Slight variations from the ideal, conditions, they will generally serve as valid and useful indicators of impairment. Slight variations from the ideal, i.e., the inability to find a perfectly smooth surface at roadside, may have some affect on the evidentairy weight given to the results. However, this does not necessarily make the SFSTs invalid.

• Attorney General’s Guidelines on Federal Bureau of Investigations
  Undercover Operations (2002; 28 pp)
  Author: Federal Bureau of Investigations
  Abstract: The use of undercover techniques, including proprietary business entities, is essential to the detection, prevention, and prosecution of white collar crimes, public corruption, terrorism, organized crime, offenses involving controlled substances, and other priority areas of investigation. However, these techniques inherently involve an element of deception and may require cooperation with persons whose motivation and conduct are open to question, and so should be carefully considered and monitored.

• Attorney General’s Guidelines on General Crimes, Racketeering

  Author: Department of Justice, Washington, DC.
  Abstract: Following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the United States, the Department of Justice carried out a general review of existing guidelines and procedures relating to national security and criminal matters. The reissuance of these Guidelines reflects the result of that review. These Guidelines follow previous guidelines in their classification of levels of investigative activity, in their classification of types of investigations, in their standards for initiating investigative activity, and in their identification of permitted investigative techniques. There are, however, a number of changes designed to enhance the general effectiveness of criminal investigation, to bring the Guidelines into conformity with recent changes in the law, and to facilitate the FBI's central mission of preventing the commission of terrorist acts against the United States and its people.
