Crime Scene Investigator

These investigative professionals also ensure that all physical evidence is packaged and transported to a forensic laboratory. http://www.crimesceneinvestigatoredu.org/job-description
Degrees and Training
A bachelor’s degree in forensic science, or any other major involving criminal justice. There is a lot of emphasis on education because the field of crime scene investigations is an evolving discipline, where old-school detective work is meeting new-school technological advances. Another way to become a CSI is to enroll in a police academy and start out as a cop and work your way up. http://www.crimesceneinvestigatoredu.org/tennessee/
