AB  - In order to ensure that digital evidence is collected, preserved, examined, or 
      transferred in a manner safeguarding the accuracy and reliability of the 
      evidence, law enforcement and digital forensic units must establish and maintain 
      an effective quality assurance system. The very first part of this system is 
      standard operating procedures (SOP's) and/or models, conforming chain of custody 
      requirements, those rely on digital forensics 
      "process-phase-procedure-task-subtask" sequence. An acceptable and thorough 
      Digital Forensics (DF) process depends on the sequential DF phases, and each 
      phase depends on sequential DF procedures, respectively each procedure depends on 
      tasks and subtasks. There are numerous amounts of DF Process Models that define 
      DF phases in the literature, but no DF model that defines the phase-based 
      sequential procedures for crime scene identified. An analytical crime scene 
      procedure model (ACSPM) that we suggest in this paper is supposed to fill in this 
      gap. The proposed analytical procedure model for digital investigations at a 
      crime scene is developed and defined for crime scene practitioners; with main 
      focus on crime scene digital forensic procedures, other than that of whole 
      digital investigation process and phases that ends up in a court. When reviewing 
      the relevant literature and interrogating with the law enforcement agencies, only 
      device based charts specific to a particular device and/or more general 
      perspective approaches to digital evidence management models from crime scene to 
      courts are found. After analyzing the needs of law enforcement organizations and 
      realizing the absence of crime scene digital investigation procedure model for 
      crime scene activities we decided to inspect the relevant literature in an 
      analytical way. The outcome of this inspection is our suggested model explained 
      here, which is supposed to provide guidance for thorough and secure 
      implementation of digital forensic procedures at a crime scene. In digital 
      forensic investigations each case is unique and needs special examination, it is 
      not possible to cover every aspect of crime scene digital forensics, but the 
      proposed procedure model is supposed to be a general guideline for practitioners.
