    Investigative Team Protocol Empty Investigative Team Protocol

    Post by Phantom Sun Nov 02, 2014 9:35 pm

    There are many different forms of investigation, and therefore no single blanket approach to cover all of them. As such, they've been broken up into generally similar types, each with their own protocols. These different types also double as the type of Specialists we need to be looking for, as it will be their job to write up the protocols for each topic.

    Each different general type of investigation will be posted below. The overall intention is for these methods to be as authentic to Real Life as possible, so if anyone has any input on ANY of them that would help in that regard, please let us know so that they can be modified.

    The Investigative Team are our Task Force, for lack of a better word. They act on the intel recovered by our Recon Team, though sometimes a Recon Team is needed for a particular type of mission. The Directors decide what method is appropriate for a given situation, and utilize the two teams underneath of them as necessary for the method being employed. In an event where more than a single Director's two teams are required (such as a hostile investigation), A meeting of the leadership is necessary to assist with coordination.

    [indent] [indent] 1: If time is not a factor, observe their daily habits and take them down one at a time[/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] 2: If time is a factor, isolate them on a smaller scale.  individual rooms, or other areas where they can be cut off from support[/indent] [/indent]

    [indent] [indent] 2: One Recon Team detaches here, with a Specialist, to fortify the room[/indent] [/indent]
    IV : Hunt the head
    [indent] A: Use the surveillance technology to locate the leader of the facility, or our target if we have another one specified.[/indent]
    [indent] B: Attempt to maintain stealth, or at least remain unknown, for as long as possible.[/indent]

    DEFENSIVE INVESTIGATIONS (requires 1 Investigative team and 1 Recon team)

    I : Protocol is used when the director determines that we should defend a POI
    II : Initial Meet-and-Greet
    [indent] A: question each of them about the events, one on one if possible.[/indent]
    [indent] B: Cross reference that with the database (on the forums)[/indent]
    III : Prepare the area
    [indent] A: Actually RP it out, and take screenshots and make sure to have the date and the time showing, just in case there's any arguments[/indent]
    [indent] B: Set traps, fortify defenses if necessary, stash a few weapons for future use[/indent]
    [indent] C: Make use of the high ground and choke points.[/indent]

    [indent] [indent] 2: Set up hidden sniper positions guarding the choke point[/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] 3: Fortify the INSIDE of the door, but not the OUTSIDE. [/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] [indent] a: This will help keep it unknown to the approaching group, and therefore it won't raise alarms prematurely.[/indent][/indent][/indent]
    [indent] F: Prepare at least one BACK exit route, just in case[/indent]
    [indent] [indent] 1: Fortify it heavily[/indent][/indent]
    [indent] 2: Have a way to seal it off entirely in case you need to flee the location[/indent]
    IV : First Contact
    [indent] A: Perimeter surveillance should be the first to spot incoming hostiles[/indent]
    [indent] [indent] 1: Try to determine their intention[/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] [indent] a: take note of how many are approaching[/indent][/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] [indent] b: look for any weapons[/indent][/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] [indent] c: look for any other unusual baggage[/indent][/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] 2: Signal the two closest points in the perimeter surveillance[/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] [indent]a: those two signal the investigative team inside[/indent][/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] 3: The first Recon team member then attempts to move in and stealthily monitor the incoming group[/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] 4: The other members of the Recon team should begin watching for any infiltrating teams that may be trying to sneak in. Heightened Awareness.[/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] 5: The Investigative teams take up sniper positions, aimed at the Choke Point[/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] 6: The Recon Team member that was trailing the group gives the Investigative team some indication on who appears to be the leader, then returns to the perimeter[/indent][/indent]
    [indent] B: Their Hostility[/indent]
    [indent] [indent] 1: If they do not appear to be hostile, the Diplomatic Specialist attempts negotiations[/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] 2: If the do appear to be hostile, things get much more complicated[/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] [indent] a: The Recon Team Member closest to the fortified exit moves to that and secures it.[/indent][/indent][/indent]

    [indent] [indent] 1: If the leader was captured alive, interrogate[/indent][/indent]
    [indent] [indent] [indent] a: Try to find out if there are any higher ranks he/she answers to, and information about them [/indent][/indent][/indent]

    D Keep a written list of the clues[/indent]
    II : Follow up on the clues to learn the identies of all involved (if possible at this stage)
    III : Everyone is a suspect until they can be safely ruled out
    [indent] A: Never let suspects stay together.
    [indent] 1: You don't want them comparing notes
    2: Inconsistencies between two suspects' stories will be extremely useful[/indent] [/indent]
    IV: Begin Questioning Each person on that list
    [indent] A: Begin by finding out if they have an alibi
    [indent] 1: Determine Location, Time Frame, and Possible Witnesses to verify
    2: Keep alert for any hint of a Motive, but don't go actively seeking it yet[/indent][/indent]
    V : Whittle the list down by Opportunity
    [indent] A: Begin by checking their alibi

    D: Compile the names of all those who had the Opportunity[/indent]

    VI :Review of the Evidence
    [indent] A: Recreate the crime
    [indent] 1: Simulate it. put yourself in the role of the criminal, and use the clues to walk through everything
    2: Look for any inconsistencies while recreating the crime. if there's something that doesn't make sense, it's important.
    3: Reexamine the means to verify[/indent][/indent]

    VII: Begin Investigating the names on this new list
    [indent] A: Search for anything that connects to the Means originally established at the Crime Scene
    [indent] 1: If you can do it stealthily, do so[/indent]
    B: Begin Pointed Questioning of the Suspect
    [indent] 1: Determine if the Suspect had a Motive
    2: Use any evidence you have found as Leverage
    [indent] a: You might be able to get a confession at this point, depending on how solid the piece of evidenced is and how severe the crime[/indent][/indent][/indent]

    VIII: Detainment
    [indent] A: Requirements
    [indent] 1: Means
    2: Motive
    3: Opportunity
    4: At least one piece of Material Evidence[/indent]
