Paige Alexander, with FCPD, discussed the training and skills needed to be a forensic scientist. Paige explained what a Crime Scene Investigator does and demonstrated the process of finger printing. Read below to learn what our LYNX scholars had to say about her eye-opening and engaging presentation!

Becoming a forensic investigator requires a lot of work and there is high competition for jobs. I also learned that you collect DNA samples from the crime scene to send to a lab and you have to make conclusions based on the evidence provided and not based off of opinions. It surprised me that you have to get tons of screening for a job in forensic sciences. I found it super interesting how competitive and serious this job is. I also found it interesting how they collect some of the evidence from a crime scene (taking fingerprints, etc.). - Addison, grade 9

It's not like the movies and it's best to get experience with the sights and smells before graduating with a forensics degree. - Elaina, grade 9

It takes a lot of school and experience to go into this job. You also need a clean record and can not be easily disgusted. - Hailey, grade 9
