How Can I Become A Crime Scene Investigator?

December 21st, 2012 2 comments

What specific schooling do I need to have? How many years, which majors? What is my course of action after schooling? Do I have to be a police officer? Do I have to be an intern? Is there a growing need for CSI’s? Are there a lot of opportunities in this field?

It depends on what agency you want to work for. Most crime scene investigators are police officers or police detectives. If you want to become a police officer or criminal investigator, you should get a 4 year college degree if you can. Choose a major that interests you, that is marketable, and that could be useful for police work. There are many majors that are good for investigators. English, forensic science, and psychology are some majors to consider. Get the highest grade point average that you can. Participate in a couple extracurricular activities such as criminal justice club, student government, or sports. Consider trying to get an internship with a police department. Do some regular volunteer work. Don’t do anything illegal. Maintain a good reputation. To become a police detective, you have to become a police officer first. Most police departments require officers to work patrol for at least 2 (usually more) years before being eligible to become a detective. If you want to become a detective, you should be the best police officer you can. Maintain an excellent record and reputation as an officer. Getting police officer jobs is becoming more and more competitive. Do whatever you can to make yourself the best candidate that you can. Best of luck!

What happened to white guys playing in the NBA like the glory days of the 50’s-80’s, players like: Larry Bird,

Kevin McCale, Danny Ainge, Bill Walton, Bob Cousy, Rick Barry, Pete Maravich, etc. Even though black people make up only 12% of the US population, the NBA is 90% black, so, the white players have become the minority and are only around 10% of the League. Are you telling me that there aren’t qualified white players to play in the league? This is like reverse affirmative action, and the whites have become the minority and are being discriminated against for being white. If Affirmative Action programs apply to hiring in Police Departments, Fire Departments, Colleges, Jobs, etc, shouldn’t they apply to sports teams and leagues also? Black people and minorities are always saying that there aren’t enough Black GM’s or Presidents or Owners of teams in the NBA, well if that’s the case, I say, how come there aren’t more white people employed as players in the NBA?
And don’t even try to mention that the NBA has Steve Nash, who is an awesome white player, ok, he’s one guy, and there are a few more, but NOT ENOUGH. Watch an NBA game nowadays, the starting line-ups are all black, 5 on 5, 10 players, usually all black, maybe one or two white guys, and that’s a BIG MAYBE. All I’m saying is that if black people want affirmative action for them, then I want affirmative action for white people who want to participate in jobs which are predominatedly black, like the NBA.

hahhahaha lol
