Forensic training. Scene of crime officer (SOCO) removing leaf litter from the body of a dummy representing a murder victim (left). A second SOCO is making notes (centre), while a third is preparing to take a photo of the mock corpse. The SOCOs are wearing protective clothing in the form of paper suits, overshoes and masks to prevent contamination of the crime scene. Metal platforms (bottom centre) are used by the SOCOs to walk across the site, preventing destruction of evidence. SOCOs provide scientific support to police forces. They establish what evidence is required from a crime scene and the best way to obtain it. Photographed on a training course.
