crime scene responder

"The Remote Response Teams are more frequently having to respond to incidents where a person has died as more and more people enjoy our national parks, wilderness and remote areas" (Carson, 1991, p. 19).

crime scene responder

"The major crime scene brings together health care, emergency services, criminal justice and forensic science professionals, which may have a wide variety of backgrounds such as police officers, emergency medical technicians/paramedics, forensic nurses, police investigators, fire fighters, fire investigators, and possibly highly specialized forensic scientists, such as forensic engineers or forensic entomologists" (Standing Bear, 1999, p. 76).

"If a scene responder believes that all is under competent control, when a police officer or investigator arrives at the crime scene, he or she only needs to review a few of the recent "celebrity cases", such as the O.J. Simpson Investigation or the Jon Bonet Ramsey case, to get the picture that all is not well in criminal investigation" (Standing Bear, 1999, p. 76).
