Paul F. Clark, II
Hello, my name is
Paul Clark. I am a patrolman with the
Linton Police Department. I have been
employed with the City of Linton since August of 2001. My current duties and responsibilities
include, but are not limited to investigate crime and other complaints, respond
to emergencies of all types, enforce both criminal and traffic laws, file
charges and continue to investigate them throughout the criminal trial
procedure.
I am also a crime scene technician
on our department. Detective Collenbaugh
and I both serve in this capacity. My
job, in that capacity, is to process major crime scenes for all types of
possible evidence. These types of
evidence include fingerprints, DNA, firearms, tools and tool marks, documents,
trace evidence, and any other items that could link a person to that
crime. Some other fields of peculiar
interest are Forensic Entomology (insects) and Forensic Anthropology (bones).
It is important to know that as a scene technician, our responsibility is to
gather the evidence. The physical
evidence is unbiased, and serves as a tool to exonerate, as well as to convict
a suspect.
Please, feel free to email any
questions or comments directly to me at the email address below.
