(I-Canada-News.Com, June 08, 2012 ) La Prairie, Canada - Cert Forensic Technician has gathered some very useful information with regard to the field of forensic science technology. The information can be of great benefit to those who are contemplating pursuing a career as a certified forensic science technician, also known as a crime scene investigator, or CSI.
In an economy which has been somewhat ravaged by a recession, forensic technicians continue to be in great demand. In fact, a projections data report by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests that over the 10-year period between 2008 and 2018, employment in the forensic science technology field will spike by a whopping 20 percent. In the report, no other profession is expected to reach a 2-digit increase.
According to Cert Forensic Technician, those who complete an undergraduate program at an accredited college or university have the best chance of landing a job with a law enforcement agency. Institutions like Albany State University in Georgia, and Cedar Crest College in Pennsylvania offer a bachelor’s of science curriculum in forensic science. And while a bachelor’s degree isn’t obligatory as part of the training, it certainly enhances a candidate’s resume.
Individuals may also opt to become a crime scene technician, or CST. The job of the CST consists of such things as analyzing a crime scene by collecting samples of hair and body fluids for DNA, taking snapshots of the scene, and generally helping police officers in their investigation.
The website delineates the steps necessary for completing the CST training. Basically, aspiring CSTs need to first decide on a specialty to pursue such as DNA and fingerprint, crime scene or weapons analysis. Then they need to complete a 2-year associate’s degree in a forensics school or community college; a bachelor’s degree is an even better option as it helps immensely during the job search phase.
After completion of a degree, candidates may opt to acquire a certification. And although becoming certified may not be necessary depending on local laws, it too helps greatly in landing a top-paying position.
