Forensic science specialists work with law enforcement officials, police agencies, private detectives and attorneys. They may be required to perform these tasks:

  • Collect, package, transport and document physical evidence from crime scenes
  • Photograph the crime scene and surroundings
  • Analyze fingerprints, blood, fibers, hair, documents and DNA evidence
  • Identify firearm and toolmark impressions
  • Present courtroom testimony
  • Reconstruct crime scenes
  • Show evidence to determine cause of death

Careers in forensic science are growing much faster than average. Job opportunities should increase as a result of the judicial system's continuing need for corroborating evidence in prosecutions. Legal and law enforcement professionals would benefit from specialized training in forensics.
