- More about EMS in Crime Scene: Role of Medical Emergency Teams in Forensic Cases
EMS in Crime Scene: Role of Medical Emergency Teams in Forensic Cases emphasizes the importance of evidence preservation in pre-hospital environments. It identifies the main difficulties in this subject and promotes proper intervention. The main role of EMS is medical assistance, but it also includes ensuring their safety, the safety of the victim, and the protection of the local scene. Preserving evidence is an important ancillary activity that does not compromise care of the victim. The objective is to keep the environment unchanged, not to move or subtract objects, and not to add elements that were not present at the scene.

EMS in Crime Scene: Role of Medical Emergency Teams in Forensic Cases delves into the diverse settings encountered in pre-hospital environments, while also exploring the medical-forensic implications surrounding evidence preservation. The book identifies the primary challenges in this domain to facilitate effective intervention. While the primary role of EMS remains medical assistance, it is equally crucial for them to prioritize their safety, the safety of the victim, and the preservation of the local scene. This includes the responsible preservation of evidence, even though it is an ancillary activity and should not compromise the care provided to the victim. The overarching objective of preserving the location of a crime is to maintain the environment as unchanged as possible. This means avoiding any movement or removal of objects from their original positions, even if they are firearms. It also entails refraining from introducing elements that were not present at the scene, such as shoe trail marks, earth, hair strands, cigarette butts, and other potential artifacts. By adhering to these principles, EMS personnel can contribute significantly to the successful resolution of forensic cases and the preservation of evidence for future analysis.
