If I become a csi do i have to be a policewoman?

I am majoring in criminal justice what else do i have to take|||If you are majoring in criminal justice, you will not be qualified as a lab tech. You need a technical degree.|||Most CSIs, probably more than 90% are not police officers. It's usually only small departments with a handful of officers that have an officer double as a CSI.





CSIs are not jacks of all trades as the TV shows depict. A fingerprint analyst might do nothing but fingerprints, a DNA specialist nothing but DNA, and a ballistics specialist nothing but firearms. In addition most CSIs never leave the lab. There are specialists for processing a crime scene who collect evidence to be examined by the laboratory specialists.|||Not necessarily, it depends where you want to be a CSI. Many times a CSI related position is in fact a civilian position (still a civil service position). However, if you are expecting CSI work to be anything like the show on TV, you are mistaken and should reevaluate your decision.
