Video Transcript

"In this clip we're going to talk about how to become a homicide investigator. A homicide investigator is a person, again, who specializes specifically in homicides. Unfortunately it's not a very pleasant scene when you arrive at a scene of a homicide because again someone's loved one has been killed whether it be a child or an adult. Your job is to scrutinize that scene, investigate that scene, and to try to determine who left what valuable evidence there for you to be able to determine and to ultimately send that person to court and be tried for that particular homicide. It's a position that requires a lot of training. It doesn't happen in a couple of years. It doesn't happen from working the roads five or ten years. You have to actually go in and do forensic investigations. You have to know how to take photographs. You have to know what evidence that you're looking for and it really is a position that requires continuing education and training. So the best thing is get into the agency, go through your promotions and get your education and schooling."
