The photographic compilation of the animal cruelty case should provide a permanent record of the scene and tell the story so professionally that it “sells” the case to your prosecutor. Your photography will compliment your full investigative package but only if completed systematically and handled properly to maintain admissibility. This session will cover equipment, the basic rules of animal cruelty crime scene photography and videography, and appropriate handling of images to maintain chain of custody. We will discuss image capture from the scene in the field through transport, exams, and housing of animals in your shelter. The objective is a case your prosecutor will be proud to carry for you.
