True or false: Family and media are normally allowed in the outer perimeter of a crime scene, but not the inner perimeter.

Family and media are typically not permitted in either the inner or outer perimeters of a crime scene. The primary reason for this restriction is to maintain the integrity of the investigation and to preserve evidence. Crime scenes are controlled environments where law enforcement personnel conduct investigations to collect and analyze evidence. Allowing family members or members of the media close to a crime scene could lead to contamination of evidence or interference with the investigative process.

In some cases, law enforcement might allow certain family members access to information about a situation, but they would still not be allowed in the vicinity of active evidence collection. Similarly, media access is usually restricted to prevent the release of sensitive information and to protect the privacy of those involved.

Thus, stating that family and media are allowed in the outer perimeter while restricted from the inner perimeter does not align with standard protocols for crime scene management and control.
