Crime scene investigators gather forensic evidence from crime scenes to help identify and prosecute criminals
As a crime scene investigator, you’ll be involved in securing and protecting crime scenes, and collecting evidence from crime scenes, post-mortems and other incidents, such as fires and suspicious deaths.
You’ll also be responsible for processing and categorising evidence so that it can be used in criminal investigations. This might include gathering photographic evidence or physical samples from the scene, such as weapons, fingerprints, clothing or biological evidence.
Crime scene investigators are sometimes known as scenes of crime officers or forensic scene investigators.
