Then a few courses in police training must be completed at an academy. After being hired as a CSI, you will be under direct supervision of a senior investigator. When the senior investigator believes you have gained enough experience and knows you are ready, you have the chance to become certified, which can put you in the field for real. Then where you go from there, depends on determination. ]]> 2018-09-17 17:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/frutvict/xczaz8uqh3yl/wish/282470646 frutvict https://padlet.com/frutvict/xczaz8uqh3yl/wish/282471228 Crime scene investigators work on a full-time basis.
