pop up tents to cover bodies of the deceased at crime or accident scenes in December to preserve their dignity.
The bureau held a training session to teach local police officers how to quickly and properly set up the tents on the scene.
In the past, police used pieces of white cloth to cover the bodies of victims who died at crime or accident scenes, but natural elements such as sunlight and rain could inflict secondary damage on the bodies, the bureau said.
The county police bureau purchased similar tents for the same purpose in 2013, and the tents were distributed to all the investigation teams in the county’s precincts, the bureau said. But the previous version was heavier and needs two to three people to spend 10 to 15 minutes to set up, the bureau said, adding that such tents are more suitable for body examination on the scene.
