Law enforcement jobs

One of those law enforcement jobs is being a forensic scientist. These people investigate the evidence collected at the crime scene. For example, shell casings and forged signatures would be collected by the officers and detectives at the scene, but analyzed by the forensic scientist in the lab.

This job usually requires a bachelor’s degree, however many schools are offering an associate’s degree in the field that would likely be sufficient to allow you to do certain aspects of the work. It is also important to remember that this is a broad law enforcement career, and you will likely have to specialize. A forensic scientist studying DNA collected at the crime scene will have be far different than a scientist who is looking at forged signatures.
