Forensic Scientist

Forensic Scientists collaborate with law enforcement to investigate certain crimes and analyze evidence to determine what happened at the crime scene. Many Forensic Scientists complete a majority of their tasks in a laboratory, collecting and studying evidence provided to them by Crime Scene Investigators. They analyze a wide variety of evidence pieces, like fingerprints, hair, bullets, blood and photographs to help law enforcement solve the crime. Forensic Scientists may also arrive on the scene to perform investigative tasks and take notes to help them make more accurate conclusions. They may also be responsible for putting together evidence reports and arriving at court to provide an expert testimony.
