FORENSIC SCIENCE TECHNICIANS

Forensic science technicians may have to work outside in all types or weather, spend large quantities of time in laboratories and offices, or some combination of both. They often work in groups or teams with specialists and other law enforcement personnel. Many specialist forensic science technicians work only in laboratories.

Crime scene investigators travel all around their jurisdictions, which may be cities, counties, or states. Crimes can happen anywhere, so crime scene investigators and criminalists, especially at the state level, will experience a considerable amount of travel.
