### sec.165 Initial establishment of crime scene If a police officer enters a place that may be a crime scene, or is lawfully at a place, and decides the place is a crime scene, the police officer (the responsible officer ) may establish a crime scene and exercise crime scene powers at the place. For crime scene powers, see division 3 . If another police officer assumes control of the crime scene, that police officer becomes the responsible officer instead of the other officer. The responsible officer may establish the crime scene in any way that gives anyone wanting to enter the place enough notice that the place is a crime scene. A police officer may stand at a door to stop people entering a building and tell them they can not enter the building. A police officer may put around a place barricades or tapes indicating the place is a crime scene.
