ABOUT THE COMMAND
The Crime Scene Services Command (CSSC) is one of two Commands in the Division of Forensic Services. The
CSSC offers a full compliment of crime scene related services to aid Illinois law enforcement agencies in criminal
investigations. The Command is comprised of five regions and multiple statewide offices including: Imaging
Section, Forensic Diagramming and Animation Section, Training and Quality Assurance Section, Forensic
Anthropology Section, and the Polygraph Section.
The CSSC Headquarters Office is located in Springfield. Members of the Imaging Section, the Training and Quality
Assurance Section, and the administrative support staff are also located in Springfield. Forensic Diagramming
and Animation Section personnel are located in both Springfield and Elgin.
Crime Scene Investigators and Crime Scene Field Supervisors are located in 25 offices throughout the state.
Crime scene processing is provided to federal, state, and local agencies 24 hours-a-day, 365 days-a-year. The law
enforcement community relies heavily on the availability of the crime scene processing services which enhance
case solvability. Crime Scene Investigators are equipped and trained to respond to a broad range of cases from
recovered stolen automobiles to complex death investigations. In addition to crime scene processing, Crime
Scene Investigators provide specialized services such as bloodstain pattern interpretation, composite drawing,
and facial reconstruction.
Eight Polygraph Examiners administer a full range of examinations for law enforcement agencies on both internal
and criminal investigations. Examinations are used by investigators to sort through the myriad of information
provided by victims, witnesses, and informants. In addition to being an invaluable investigative tool, polygraph
examinations are used in Department pre-employment procedures.
Forensic Anthropology is the use of skeletal analysis (osteology)and archaeological methods in a medico-legal
context. The section consists of one Forensic Anthropologist who provides service throughout the state of Illinois.
The anthropologist has extensive experience in the recovery and analysis of human remains.

scene reports of crimes
against persons are

distributed, and maintained by the support staff. The
maintenance of these reports and their content is also
very in-depth. Since 1994, victim/suspect information
to include case number, requesting agency, date and
time of occurrence, and Crime Scene Investigator’s
name is compiled from each crime scene report to
develop a statistical database. Consequently, reports
can be located using any one of the above-mentioned
fields.
Other responsibilities of the support staff include
personnel issues, such as Worker’s Compensation
claims; cell phones and pagers; Freedom of Information
requests; tuition reimbursement; office supply orders;
petty cash; archives, and special projects.
Production of the Monthly Activity Report is another key
function of the support staff. Crime Scene Investigators
enter data into a program which is incorporated into a
“master” activity program to produce various status
reports. This information is then compiled to produce
the Command’s Annual Report.

and Dennis Taylor approached the back door of a Jewel
Food Store located in Dolton, Illinois. They forced their
way into the store at gunpoint and proceeded to use zip
ties to bind the employees. One of the employees in the
bakery area was also struck with a pistol. The suspects
then forced the employees into a freezer. An Entemanns
Bakery delivery man was also forced into the freezer,
but was able to escape and call the police.
Brown and Taylor did not get any proceeds from
the store, because Jewel was not open for business.
Brown and Taylor fled the scene eastbound on Sibley
Boulevard, and at 6:53 a.m., were involved in a crash
that killed Katherine McMaster and Alen Kicic at
the intersection of Woodlawn and Sibley Boulevard.
When officers arrived at the scene of the crash, they
located a weapon with traces of blood on it in the
suspects’ vehicle. Officers also discovered a duffle bag
containing disguises (wigs, fake beards, and mustaches)
and zip ties (identical to the ones used to bind the Jewel
employees).
CSI Hansen processed the scene at the Jewel Food Store
and collected zip ties, blood swipes and smears, and a
patent footwear impression in blood from the bakery
area. The Joliet Forensic Science Laboratory tested
the blood-like stain from the suspect’s weapon and
matched it to the Jewel employee who had been struck
with a pistol. That match placed the suspects inside
the Jewel Food Store with the weapon and corroborated
the victim’s testimony. The zip ties collected from the
scene were also tested and determined to be the same
as the zip ties collected from the suspects’ duffel bag.
The victims from Jewel were not able to identify the
suspects without their disguises, but in open court, they
were able to identify the wigs and mustaches worn by
the suspects.
The suspects were tried separately in 2007, because one
suspect was the driver of the vehicle and the other was a
passenger. The defense attorney argued that the suspects

the restroom. The threat, which was written in black
marker stated, THIS WILL BE VIRGINIA TECH IN
5 DAYS...
The Monticello High School was evacuated, and police
used canines to search the school for explosives. Crime
Scene Investigator Morris examined and processed the
girls’ restroom for physical evidence. The 6’ x 3’1”
mirror was taken from the restroom as evidence.
The school superintendent sent fliers home to parents
advising that those who wished to remove their children
from school for one week were welcome to do so.
During that time, police officers were present before,
during, and after classes, and at all after school events.
All police departments in the area were operating under
heightened security procedures. However, the five days
passed without further incident at the school.
Ms. Pierce was believed to be a suspect in the incident.
She adamantly denied that she wrote the threat. More
than 300 known samples of Ms. Pierce’s handwriting
were submitted to the Illinois State Police Forensic
Science Laboratory in Springfield, Illinois. The
FBI assigned two field agents to the case who were
experts in the field of criminal profiling. Ms. Pierce
was interviewed by Monticello Police Department
investigators, Illinois State Police investigators, and
by the two FBI field agents; however, she continued to
deny any involvement in the incident. The consensus
of opinion among the investigators was that she was
responsible for writing the threat.
Ultimately, Forensic Scientist Lindell Moore from the
Springfield Forensic Science Laboratory matched the
known handwriting samples from Ms. Pierce to the
threat written on the restroom mirror.
In the spring of 2008, Ms. Pierce was arrested on state
felony charges of Obstruction of Justice, Disorderly
Conduct in a Public Building, and Criminal Defacement

The victim had been killed in front of her 18-monthold son. The victim’s ex-boyfriend called “911” and
claimed that he discovered the victim in her residence
and attempted to administer first aid. CSI Daniel
Glover arrived at the scene prior to CSI Sopczak and

Case #4927-07-5050-9-1
CSI Benjamin Koch
On April 25, 2007, Crime Scene Investigator Ben Koch
was requested by the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office
to process the scene of a “self immolation” in Millstadt,
Illinois.
CSI Koch arrived at the scene and met with Deputy
Justin Biggs, who related to CSI Koch that the victim was
discovered by her son in the backyard at her residence.
The victim was badly burned. CSI Koch observed an
area of burned grass around the victim’s body. The
victim was on her back with her arms extended straight
from the shoulders, and a cane was under her right
forearm. Partially burned clothing was on the victim’s
knees, lower legs, abdomen, and back. Near the victim
on the ground was a partiality burned box of matches.
The box was similar to a box of matches found above
the doorway in the garage. Three containers of lighter
fluid were also in the garage.
CSI Koch observed a note on the counter in the kitchen
that was signed “Mom.” In the victim’s bedroom,
CSI Koch found the victim’s checkbook and $265 in
cash.
The victim was removed from the scene by Millstadt
Ambulance Service under the direction of St. Clair
County Deputy Coroner Danny Haskenhoff, and
transported to the morgue at Kenneth Hall Regional
Hospital in East St. Louis. After the body was removed,
State Fire Marshal Greg Vespa discovered a large area
of burned plastic around the victim, which was later
determined to be a plastic gas can.
On April 26, 2007, at 9:30 a.m., CSI Koch arrived at the
morgue at Kenneth Hall Regional Hospital to attend the
autopsy performed by Dr. Raj Nanduri.
The manner of the victim’s death was suicide.

IMAGING SECTION
The Crime Scene Services Command (CSSC) Imaging
Section provides imaging services to law enforcement
and judicial clients throughout the state of Illinois.
The services include: digital printing, scanning, and
processing of conventional silver halide film. The
Imaging Section researches new imaging technologies
and solutions for use by agency personnel. The
Imaging Section consists of a supervisor and two
photographers.
The increased use of digital imaging technology by
CSSC to document crime scenes has reduced the use of
conventional silver halide film to analytical images and
as a backup to the digital cameras in case of mechanical
failure. The Imaging Section will continue to offer
the processing of film to other clients even after the
CSSC moves to a total digital workflow. The ongoing
transition to a digital workflow in the CSSC presents
new opportunities to be developed.The Imaging Section
research and development of new digital solutions has
an added benefit of making better use of the agency
funds budgeted for the CSSC.

microscope in 2007 as an on-site assessment was
conducted by Forensic Quality Services, Incorporated,
to ascertain conformance with International Standards
Organization (ISO) standard 17025:2005. A team of
assessors spent a full week examining, in great detail,
all aspects of Crime Scene Services Command policies,
procedures, manuals, and processes. At the conclusion
of the assessment, the team determined that Crime
Scene Services Command complied with requirements
for accreditation. In August 2007, the Illinois State
Police Crime Scene Services Command became the first
stand-alone crime scene unit in the world to attain ISO
accreditation. That accomplishment would not have
been possible without the hard work, diligence, and
pride exhibited by past and current Command personnel.
The solid foundation established by legacy personnel
enabled the CSSC to build a successful program which
will serve as a model for law enforcement agencies
throughout the world.
In 2007, the Training and Quality Assurance Section
was instrumental in approving, planning, scheduling,
and implementing in-state and out-of-state training
for Crime Scene Services Command personnel. The
Training and Quality Assurance Section approved,
registered, and coordinated training for the Crime
Scene Investigators and Polygraph Examiners through
the Mobile Training Units, the Illinois Division of the
International Association for Identification, and the
Illinois Polygraph Society. Mandatory training was
handled within individual districts, and the training
information was placed into a centralized database
maintained by the Training and Quality Assurance
Section. During 2007, Crime Scene Services Command
also sent personnel to Missouri, California, and
Virginia for specialized training in death investigation,
bloodstain pattern analysis and certification, and
forensic art. New Crime Scene Investigators received
training in accordance with the Field Training Crime
Scene Investigator training program and successfully
completed the program by demonstrating proficiency
in practical and written examinations. The expertise
of Crime Scene Services Command personnel was
requested by the Georgia State Police to instruct their
personnel in forensic animation techniques as well as
by the academic community in New York to highlight
careers in law enforcement and to discuss issues relevant
to forensic anthropology.
In March 2007, the Training and Quality Assurance
Section played an integral role in the move from
the Armory building to the newly-acquired Central
Headquarters building. Numerous logistical planning
sessions occurred over the course of several weeks prior
to the actual movement of furniture and equipment.
The Training and Quality Assurance Section worked in
conjunction with other Illinois State Police divisions to
move items from the Armory building to ensure that
office furniture was properly installed and computer
equipment was functioning. Crime Scene Services
Command personnel arrived at the new location with
no disruption in work flow, resulting in a smooth
transition.
The Quality Assurance portion of the Training and
Quality Assurance Section was placed under the

POLYGRAPH SERVICES
FORENSIC ART
The Illinois State Police has been providing polygraph
services for more than 30 years. In January 2006,
polygraph services were transferred to the Crime Scene
Services Command. Eight examiners are located in
offices throughout the state (East Moline, Westchester,
Joliet, Morton, Champaign, Springfield, Metro East,
and Carbondale). ISP Polygraph Examiners completed
examinations for criminal investigations, as well as
pre-employment screening for the ISP. Polygraph
Examiners completed tests for federal, state, county,
and municipal agencies. Approximately 80 percent of
the examinations completed were for agencies other
than the ISP.
Forensic art is “any art that is of a forensic nature; that
is, art used in conjunction with legal procedures.” A
working definition of forensic art is any art that aids
in the identification, apprehension, or conviction
of criminal offenders, or that aids in the location of
victims or identification of unknown deceased persons.
Forensic artists combine their artistic skills with science
to assist criminal investigations in a variety of ways.
Forensic art generally can be divided into four areas
of concentration, each of which encompasses several
subcategories:
Not unlike Crime Scene Investigators, Polygraph
Examiners require specialized training and equipment
to perform their jobs. Polygraph Examiners are also
required to be licensed by the Department of Professional
Regulation. Illinois law mandates Polygraph Examiners
to receive six months training prior to completing the
licensing process.

FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGY SECTION Command strives to provide requesting agencies with
the services necessary to effectively deal with crime
When skeletal remains are discovered the following scenes involving human skeletal remains.
questions must be answered. Are they human? If so,
how old and who was this person? What happened?
Many times the ability to
answer these questions
falls outside of the
training and experience of
most law enforcement and
coroner investigators. A
Forensic Anthropologist
can provide assistance
in answering all of
the
aforementioned
questions.
Forensic
Anthropology is the use of skeletal analysis (osteology)
and archaeological methods in a medico-legal context.
The Crime Scene Services Command has a Forensic
Anthropologist with extensive experience in the recovery
and analysis of human remains. The anthropologist is
available
to
assist with the
recovery
of
human remains
throughout the
state of Illinois.
In
addition,
a
complete
a n a l y s i s

to determine if the skeletal remains are human and if
so, establish a decedent’s age, sex, ancestry, time since
death, and document any trauma. The Quality Assurance
