How do you become a crime scene technician?

In: Job Training and Career Qualifications [Edit categories]

Answer:

==Answer==

Check with your local hiring authority to find what they are looking for in a qualified candidate. A four year degree with a major in criminal justice with courses in forensic science may be the way to go for the best future.

We have experience in the crime scene cleanup industry and in many cases a law enforcement background is encouraged to make sure an applicant knows what they are dealing with and are not queazy over such sights, however a criminal background degree is not necessary. Start with apply with a few major companies in crime scene cleanup like http://www.actremediaiton.com or http://traumacrimecleanup.com and http://24hrcrimescenecleaners.com
