Explanation
F (A, C, & D) is correct because when first responding to a crime scene, an investigator must simultaneously maintain a written log (documenting who enters/exits and when), secure the scene (to prevent contamination or evidence loss), and apply sound forensic processes (to ensure evidence is collected and handled in a legally defensible way) - these three actions form the foundational triad of crime scene response.
Why the distractors fail: Option B (contact the public information officer) is not an immediate investigator priority - media relations are handled separately and do not fall within the investigator's first-response duties. Option E (A, B, & C) is wrong precisely because it includes B, which is not part of the investigator's core responsibilities upon arrival.
Memory tip: Think of the acronym "Log, Secure, Process" - these are the three things an investigator owns at a scene. The public information officer handles the outside world; the investigator handles the scene itself.
