Forensic Scientist

Do you wear a white suit? If so why or why not? What is really the point?

Asked by Benny over 5 years ago

Do you mean a Tyvek suit? To prevent cross contamination? We have whole body suits but have not yet had a scene that required them. We will wear disposable booties and of course gloves for any homicide scene. Sometimes the point, as with fentanyl and COVID risks, is to protect ourselves, and sometime the point is protect the scene and keep from dragging trace evidence from outside the scene to inside the scene.

Do you think a forensic science certificate of proficiency (or any other forensic science certificates) is beneficial in any way?

Asked by Christina almost 5 years ago

Yes, certification in any discipline is definitely a good thing to put on a resume.

What do you think about the BLM?

Asked by Kaylee over 5 years ago

I think I am an expert in some areas of forensic science. I am not an expert in law, public safety policy or our political system.

Is blood soaked evidence washed after testing? For example a leather glove. Would it just be dried out and kept like that or do they clean the blood off.

Asked by bailey over 5 years ago

No, nothing is cleaned. It’s just dried and then kept as is. For one thing you might want to do more testing in the future so you’d never want to wash your evidence away.

Oh you kinda look like her though

Thanks!

Last question. I'm sorry, these were for my class.
If you were just choosing a career field, would you still choose to be a forensic scientist? Why or why not?

Asked by Jessie almost 4 years ago

Yes, absolutely. I can’t think of anything I’d enjoy as much.

Haha what if some of your old co workers see your post LAMO that’s too funny
