In this clip we are going to talk about how to become a forensic investigator. A forensic investigator is a specialist who specializes in forensic investigations. It is someone who responds to the scene of an incident whereby an officer has responded and determined that an expert person needs to arrive at the scene in order to conduct and complete the investigation. It can be anything from removing fingerprints, to taking photographs, to taking measurements to removing blood stains. You must apply with the police department first. It is not an active law enforcement position. It is actually a civilian position. What they look for is your education, and your training and your expertise in that particular area. Once you apply then hopefully because of your requirements and your testing procedures the police department will hire you and at that point you can become a forensic investigator and get your additional training.
