Just to clarify - The idea behind SOCO is to have certain patrol level officers trained to lift prints and take pictures at crime scenes of a more routine nature like break ins, recovered stolen vehicles, etc. By doing so, they free up forensic science/Ident officers to do the NON routine crime scenes like sex assaults, homicides, etc.
