What information is typically included in a crime scene legend?

Case number, date and time of drawing
Witness statements, bail amount
Police officer's personal details

The correct answer is: Case number, date and time of drawing

A crime scene legend serves as a key reference for anyone examining the crime scene documentation. It typically includes essential details that establish the context and support the integrity of the forensic investigation. The inclusion of the case number, date, and time of drawing is vital because it helps categorize the evidence collected and the circumstances under which it was documented. This information acts as a formal identifier for the case and is crucial for maintaining accurate records and ensuring that the investigation is traceable and organized. Having a well-defined legend contributes to the clarity of the crime scene layout and tends to be necessary for legal proceedings, helping to build a timeline of the events surrounding the incident. This structured approach enhances the case's credibility and assists law enforcement in reviewing the evidence effectively as they pursue leads or prepare for court.
