1
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:12,810
We are here today.

2
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,190
We have a warrant to search you and your property, why?

3
00:00:17,790 --> 00:00:22,380
Because we have suspected reason of drugs and other...

4
00:00:23,370 --> 00:00:25,950
Drugs, you think I've got drugs who's told you that?

5
00:00:25,950 --> 00:00:28,620
We have received information that we cannot tell you where it's come from or who

6
00:00:28,620 --> 00:00:31,330
it's come from, but we'd like to search your property.

7
00:00:31,330 --> 00:00:31,650
Well they best hope that I don't find out then

8
00:00:42,260 --> 00:00:42,440
. I've done nothing wrong. It's okay if you haven't, we'll make sure you

9
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:48,410
haven't. But we are here under passcode at A and B and we are here on the misuse

10
00:00:48,410 --> 00:00:50,410
of Drugs Act 1971.

11
00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:51,460
I don't have any drugs.

12
00:00:51,950 --> 00:00:53,600
I'm Officer Brush.

13
00:00:53,930 --> 00:00:58,970
This is Officer Wright, my number is 580067

14
00:01:00,020 --> 00:01:01,460
My badge number is 594379.

15
00:01:01,850 --> 00:01:05,150
I'll be sure to remember that so I can report you if anything goes wrong, you

16
00:01:05,150 --> 00:01:06,400
are not coming in this house.

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,730
All right. Sir take a step back calm down.

18
00:01:11,730 --> 00:01:14,170
No, I think you need to take a step back, you're not coming in this house.

19
00:01:14,170 --> 00:01:18,020
Sir, calm down. I'm trying to be calm, but when someone's trying to come in my

20
00:01:18,020 --> 00:01:20,790
house, accusing me of thing that I haven't done it's a bit hard isn't it.

21
00:01:20,790 --> 00:01:22,170
We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

22
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,200
We have a warrant. We are coming in your house.

23
00:01:24,510 --> 00:01:27,510
You can be arrested for restriction of justice if you do not let us come

24
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:34,200
inside. So after they've already started off with their communication skills by

25
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,670
knocking on the door and explaining to the person why they've turned up and

26
00:01:38,670 --> 00:01:41,780
under what act is the reason they're there.

27
00:01:41,780 --> 00:01:46,800
So code A and act B and why they have a legitimate reason to carry out the

28
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,790
search. As they've gone into the property the first thing they're going to do

29
00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:55,020
is carry out an A to H of the person involved with the crime.

30
00:01:55,290 --> 00:02:00,030
So as you can see behind me, they're talking to Faye and talking to each other,

31
00:02:00,210 --> 00:02:07,080
explaining his age, build, height and all the descriptive factors of the person

32
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,510
involved before carrying out any search.

33
00:02:10,890 --> 00:02:15,190
So please, can you stand there for me, please?

34
00:02:16,260 --> 00:02:20,460
Age?

35
00:02:20,460 --> 00:02:22,130
Approximately 16 to 20.

36
00:02:22,130 --> 00:02:25,540
Okay, Build? Fairly slim, quite tall.

37
00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:27,310
OK, colour?

38
00:02:27,970 --> 00:02:31,750
British, white, Any distinguishing marks?

39
00:02:31,930 --> 00:02:35,230
Has freckles on his face and on a mole on his right cheek,

40
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,600
Okay, elevation,

41
00:02:38,050 --> 00:02:40,000
Approximately five foot 11, 6 foot.

42
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,540
Measure me if you want.

43
00:02:44,020 --> 00:02:46,710
Face? He has freckles on both cheeks.

44
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,230
Quite thin lips. Yep okay the way they walk?

45
00:02:54,780 --> 00:02:57,360
He rock's a little bit as he's walking.

46
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:01,670
Yeah, hair and hobbies?

47
00:03:01,670 --> 00:03:09,090
Black hair. Puts his arms behind his back as he stands and rocks side to side

48
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,480
After they've documented all the evidence of the person involved, they will then

49
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,830
carry out a description of the search environment.

50
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:21,380
By carrying out a description of the search environment, they'll paint a clear

51
00:03:21,380 --> 00:03:26,960
picture and document the size of the room, what they can find in the room, any

52
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:31,790
factors that are jumping out or shouting to them and a clear idea of what they

53
00:03:31,790 --> 00:03:35,630
found in front of them or what has been presented in front of them before

54
00:03:35,630 --> 00:03:37,240
carrying out the search itself.

55
00:03:37,670 --> 00:03:42,410
They will then go into the search, which will be conducted systematically while

56
00:03:42,410 --> 00:03:45,800
they will start in one side of the room and carry out a search all the way

57
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,540
around, ensuring they've documented every single inch of that room to ensure no

58
00:03:50,540 --> 00:03:54,660
evidence has been hidden or has been lost during the search.

59
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:00,050
By then, they will carry out all the evidence and put it in a safe place to

60
00:04:00,050 --> 00:04:04,190
ensure that their documents and the filing has been correct throughout the

61
00:04:04,190 --> 00:04:05,300
entire process.

62
00:04:06,620 --> 00:04:13,220
Blood in the corner of the room, approximately two metres by three metres.

63
00:04:13,410 --> 00:04:16,040
Yeah, assorted newspapers on the floor.

64
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:19,180
Yeah, there's a chair in the back right corner.

65
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:28,970
So what Morgan's doing now is slowly starting to carry out a systematic search

66
00:04:28,970 --> 00:04:35,850
of the area, so the very first piece of evidence he's found was the blood.

67
00:04:36,290 --> 00:04:41,480
So he's going to document that on both of his worksheet and with a placard.

68
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,650
So as the search is carrying out Kylie will be documenting all the evidence

69
00:04:49,650 --> 00:04:53,730
being found and Morgan will be carrying out the search himself by placing

70
00:04:53,730 --> 00:04:56,220
placards and communicating with the other officer.

71
00:04:58,910 --> 00:05:03,650
So the point of this exercise is to search systematically of area, which means

72
00:05:03,650 --> 00:05:08,710
to thoroughly start in one corner and slowly work your way around the room

73
00:05:09,020 --> 00:05:11,890
documenting and any information found along the way.

74
00:05:14,390 --> 00:05:19,760
So the search process is not supposed to be quick as such, but it's supposed to

75
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:25,400
be thorough because of the size of the room it is adequate to have one person

76
00:05:25,410 --> 00:05:30,580
search in a room. 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.
