Our crime scene investigation analysts meticulously document, collect, and preserve evidence at crime scenes. Their expertise in the crime scene discipline directly supports investigations and contributes to legal proceedings. The evidence they uncover serves as a strong foundation for #YourFDLE agents and our partners, driving investigations forward and aiding in the resolution of cases. In this week’s #ForensicFriday Feature, Senior Crime Laboratory Analyst Kate Fahey discusses what analysts in crime scene investigations do and what she finds most rewarding about her work in the forensic discipline.
