As a forensic analyst, you play a crucial role in assisting law enforcement agencies by examining and interpreting evidence related to criminal activities. This may involve specializing in areas such as crime scene investigation, blood spatter analysis, DNA analysis, and computer analysis. While much of your work is conducted in a laboratory setting, you may also be required to gather evidence directly from crime scenes. If you focus on crime scene investigation, the majority of your responsibilities will involve collecting and analyzing evidence to aid in solving crimes.
