The Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety
Identification Bureau is comprised of one Evidence Specialist who is
specially trained in the documentation, collection and preservation of
evidence. Specialized training includes bloodstain documentation,
photography, videography, collection of evidence and numerous methods
for processing and identification of latent prints.
The Evidence Specialist responds to crime scenes where
evidence processing is beyond the capabilities of the normally trained
and equipped Public Safety Officer who originally responded to the
scene.
The Evidence Specialist responds to all types of calls
for service; including criminal mischief (where only photographs are
necessary), injured persons, fire scenes, burglary, robbery, sexual
battery and death investigations to include homicide cases. The amount
of time spent investigating the scenes can be anywhere from one hour to
several days.
Evidence collected from crime scenes is processed at
our in-house lab; however, if more extensive lab work is required,
evidence items are forwarded to the California State Crime Lab for
evaluation and analysis. All laboratory findings from the collected
evidence as well as the results of the investigation (which is
conducted by detectives) are presented in court proceedings to aid in
the successful conviction of criminals.
