How do you become a real CSI?

You want to become a cop?  Why?  You need a degree in criminology and then you have to become a cop.

The Forensic Science Degree can take you anywhere from 2-4 years, depending on if you are going for a BS or a MS. You could not do both jobs because a) the time each job takes and b) there could be a conflict of interest depending on what kind of law you were doing. Crime scene investigations and forensics are linked. The forensics portion usually requires you to have some science background (Biology, Chemistry). CSI's don't necessarily need this. Hope this answers your question.

Yes...three ways that I have used in past to hire lab employees.\n1)   Go to local  4-year college and ask at their CJA department, for student intern programs.\n2)    Apply at your local law enforcement agency.  We have a CPA,  Citizen Police Academy and also a Law Enforcement Explorer Group administered by the Boy Scouts of America.\n3)   Go to your state's Central Crime Lab, and ask about employment opportunities.  Many hire part time workers with no experience and just a High School Diploma or GED.  In my state, turn around on most evidence is 8-9 months before the state lab can do the work.  So...they will at time hire part time Techs to handle the overload.  The last "BIG" case this state had involved several double and triple Homicides.  Because of the workload the state lab hired 4-7 techs to handle the "Grunt" work, while their trained techs focused on the "Media Sensitive cases" (meaning the newspapers and T.V. reporters were giving them grief for not having solved the crime in an hour like they do on CSI)

First of all IDK means "I dont know"\n\nSecond, Im currently studying to be a Crime Scene Tech.  Unlike the CSI shows crime scene tech. are the ones in the field collecting the evidence and using all the little toys.  These are civilans not sworn officers as shown on CSI.  Im looking at around four years of school for that field.

He or she will visit a crime scene and, to start with, he will take everything in visually (frequently recording things on camera).  Next he will be looking out for anything that might possibly be related to the criminal offence (spots of blood, fingerprints, etc), then he will be looking for anything that is out of place (e.g. missing, in the wrong place, is there when it should be someplace else).  He will also gather items of evidence and take them back to the lab.\n\nBack in the lab, with the assistance of the lab techs, a picture will be built up of what happened, who did what to whom, with what, how, and why.\n\nTry watching CSI, NCIS, etc., despite some inaccuracies, they can give you a feel for what they do, and can  be informative as well as entertaining - always remember that they are primarily to entertain and draw in viewers.

Hi,\nI would suggest writing to your local police authority and asking for help. Tryphoning your local police station (not 999/112/911 - the local number will be in the Telephone Directory) and ask for the nearest forensic science/CSI unit. \n\nTom Walvin

it is not a short path, but this is how I did it. Get on to a local law enforcement dept, then once you are on and certified, push to become a firearms instructer for the dept, and start applying to the FBI or CIA right away. No matter what federal agency you are applying for, they will want at least a bachelors deg. and usually 5"ish" yrs of law enforcement OR military experience. Don't get dissapointed you will get turned down probably the first 2 times you apply, but that is pretty much how they do it, myself, my buddies in other agencies all went through the same. good luck

I love CSI: Miami !!!! It's a million times better than the other CSI's. For one reason everyone on the show is HOTT!! Plus they always have more interesting cases. I cant wait to find out who the mole in the lab is. Miami really keeps you going. NY is crap & the original is taking a backseat to Miami. And everyone knows it.

Go to CBS.com and there you can go to CSI and read the whole show. I have to do that sometimes too. It was good. Plus at the end Sara told Grissom that she "wouldn't wait up".

Get hired by a Police Department, get a few years under your belt doing police work, get some recognition for doing a good job and then get yourself promoted (or transferred) into one of the detective units to learn about being an investigator.  After doing all this over a span of several years, you might be ready for a spot in the SVU.  Good luck and have patience.

Okay i am not a csi officer nor to i plan to do to that. I am a pd officer and when we do small investgatiosn we collect all evidance at the scene we never look for prints back at the station that be dumb . We do take evidance back to the lab and station but not like that not unless we found like a person or something that was needed for trail in the can itself.

It depends on the department they work for, along with the job title and specifications. CSI isn't a nationwide title, and some forensic duties are carried out by police.
