(and yet: what if knowledge were delicious?): Police Investigations/Crime Scene -

referenceforwriters:

Any general tips on writing a police investigation/crime scene?

So u wanna write police procedurals… or maybe your story just requires you to write a crime scene. Works too. 

• At the crime scene: scene recognition 
• What happens at a crime scene
• How crime scene investigation works
• 4 types of crime scenes
• (More) Types of crime scenes
• Video: Victims of Crime - Investigation
• Types of crime scene investigators
• How crime scene photography works
• Crime scene investigations

Furthermore, I encourage you to do more research. All you can or require to make it more believable. Talk to the police officers of your community if you can, read books, go to google. All my advice is that you don’t pay much attention to crime TV series as they tend to make everything faster therefore letting details out.

EDIT: you should also think about which crime was comitted, since it’s logical to assume a murder crime scene will be different from let’s say a robbery, at least in some details. 

Best of luck,

-Alex

Beginner writers tend to write essays when they first start writing novels. Successful writers soon realise that a novel is not an essay. It is a story made up of scenes. But how do you know if you’ve written a great scene?
