Investigation Prep Part 2

Happy Saturday!  Today is our first public investigation so I thought it would be the perfect time to break down our day of prep work. Yesterday I posted about what we take care of the day before so you will want to check that out. Today is all about packing up equipment and gathering paperwork. First things first we finalize our layout of the location and where we want to place our cameras and other static equipment. With this being a public event we won't be breaking down into smaller teams so I came up with 3 scenarios on the flow of tonight's investigation which when we arrive and speak with the clients we can decide the best course of action or game plan if you will. Our final team member count is done, we sent out an email this morning as a final reminder and gave the game plan for the evening.  Right now Tim and I are doing our final packing and checklist of all the equipment we will be taking (note we don't put batteries in until we arrive so we don't get any pre investigation drainage). And after that I will figure out team assignments such as who will be leading which team and what equipment gets assigned to which team member.  Hope this helps any new groups that are starting out and need a little guidance. Also the number 1 thing to remember is you can do all the planning in the world however when you get to your investigation it more than likely will be different!
