But usually this is a very, very long process and can take up 77 00:05:30,590 --> 00:05:34,250 to hours depending on the evidence or the information given. 78 00:05:34,460 --> 00:05:41,080 The point of the UV light is so you can document evidence adequately under a 79 00:05:41,090 --> 00:05:42,440 simulated scenario. 80 00:05:42,650 --> 00:05:47,300 So as if this was a real search carried out by the police force, they use of 81 00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:51,800 the UV light, is able to help them find evidence that they might not be able to 82 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,250 see with the naked eye. 83 00:05:53,750 --> 00:05:57,680 The point of doing it in this exercise is to help the learner give a real 84 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,380 simulated experience of what it would be like in a real life scenario of 85 00:06:03,380 --> 00:06:04,460 carrying out search. 86 00:06:07,410 --> 00:06:13,260 So as evidence is found, the officer will give a short description of what is 87 00:06:13,260 --> 00:06:17,700 found to the other officer writing it down to ensure that everything is being 88 00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:21,210 adequately documented for further evidence if needed. 89 00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:29,710 So once all the evidence has been found, the officers will then start to 90 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,290 correctly document everything. 91 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,630 So what Morgan will be doing now, he will be searching for any further 92 00:06:35,630 --> 00:06:40,790 evidence, such as fingerprints on the evidence that's found that might link to 93 00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:43,880 the person that is involved with the crime. 94 00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:49,130 Morgan will then talk to Carlie, which which is his partner in the situation, 95 00:06:49,370 --> 00:06:55,510 to ensure that information has been adequately documented on paper if they are 96 00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:56,900 later relied on in court. 97 00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:00,380 So how do you think the communication skills went? 98 00:07:02,450 --> 00:07:06,100 I think it went quite well What? So verbally you did that well? 99 00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:08,540 What about your nonverbal communication skills? 100 00:07:08,940 --> 00:07:10,790 Could be a little bit better at times. 101 00:07:10,940 --> 00:07:12,020 A bit better at times. 102 00:07:12,650 --> 00:07:17,000 Do you think you adequately used your voice and your body language that would 103 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,980 be needed in that scenario? 104 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,950 Partially, and it could have been a bit better and a bit more assertive. 105 00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:27,540 What about you Carlie how do you think you used your voice? I was quite quiet 106 00:07:27,540 --> 00:07:28,850 throughout. Yeah. 107 00:07:29,150 --> 00:07:33,890 So what I would have said was, yes, the assertiveness, the body language, you 108 00:07:33,890 --> 00:07:39,500 do have to be slightly more; not aggressive, but authoritarian, because at the 109 00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:43,460 end of the day, you are the people in charge in this situation. 110 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:49,460 He is not. So you need to take control, but maintaining a bit of dignity and 111 00:07:49,460 --> 00:07:54,410 nice communication to keep them calm and not to create another situation. 112 00:07:54,620 --> 00:07:56,900 How do you think the search went? 113 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:58,760 Went quite well.. 114 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,190 Just missed the one bit didn't you? 115 00:08:01,190 --> 00:08:03,200 Yeah only missed one piece. 116 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,240 If you could do it again, what would you do differently? 117 00:08:06,860 --> 00:08:09,190 Open my eyes more. 118 00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:13,920 So do you feel like you search systematically? 119 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,620 By systematically, do you feel like you started in one position and worked your 120 00:08:18,620 --> 00:08:20,110 way around the room adequately? 121 00:08:20,110 --> 00:08:24,170 Yeah. Do you think your communications between each other, you know, when you 122 00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:25,360 was doing the searching but Carley was doing the documenting do you think that 123 00:08:27,510 --> 00:08:29,000 was adequate enough? No I should have talked more and told her where I was 124 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,200 going more. 125 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:37,190 Yeah, because remember, Carley can only rely on the information that you have 126 00:08:37,190 --> 00:08:39,010 given her because she is not the one searching. 127 00:08:39,140 --> 00:08:41,860 She's maintaining the control in the room. 128 00:08:41,860 --> 00:08:44,090 So how do you think you maintained control? 129 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:48,350 I just stood there a lot, there wasn't much to be fair. 130 00:08:48,350 --> 00:08:53,150 Yeah. So your communication skills are imperative and plus your writing skills 131 00:08:53,150 --> 00:08:56,570 are imperative because you have to control the room, because what's going to 132 00:08:56,570 --> 00:08:58,730 happen if Morgan misses a piece of evidence? 133 00:08:59,870 --> 00:09:02,280 It's going to corrupt the whole thing. 134 00:09:02,390 --> 00:09:06,590 Because if Morgan turns around and goes, "Shut up you, I'm trying to search 135 00:09:06,590 --> 00:09:11,150 this". And he forgot where he was, he could have missed that bag, which we did 136 00:09:11,150 --> 00:09:13,790 identify you did miss one piece of evidence. 137 00:09:14,010 --> 00:09:18,140 Like I say, you're not actual professional police men and women. 138 00:09:18,530 --> 00:09:22,970 But at the same time, you need to ensure that you are adequately starting in 139 00:09:22,970 --> 00:09:25,610 one position and ending in another position. 140 00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:27,980 Yes. Are you happy with your performance? 141 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,220 Yeah. Do you think you've learned from your performance? 142 00:09:30,220 --> 00:09:30,410 Yeah.
