Crime Scene Technicians assigned to this section process crime scenes when officers or detectives call for their services. Crime Scene Technicians collect and process evidence such as taking photographs and fingerprints from the scenes of thefts, traffic fatalities, autopsies, and deaths.
The Crime Scene Section is a vital part of criminal investigations because the evidence that the technicians obtain and handle allows the department to solve cases.
The Kenner Police Department’s Digital Forensics Unit (DFU) operates within the Crime Scene Section. This unit is tasked with the collection and preservation of digital evidence from a variety of sources using industry standard best practices.
