Competitors are directed to a simulated crime scene and briefed on the incident. As a three-person team, they will process the crime scene following the 7 Step Crime Scene Processing model (https://bluelinetd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/7-STEP-CRIME-SCENE-PROCESSING.pdf), by legally searching for, properly documenting and collecting evidence from the scene. After the scene has been cleared, the competitors will further demonstrate their skills by processing evidence items for latent evidence and DNA, they will complete an evidence report, finalize their field sketch and package their evidence.
The career competitions of the SkillsUSA Illinois Championships follow the current edition of the SkillsUSA Technical Standards. These are available to professional members (advisors and teachers) as a membership benefit following their submission of membership.
