A shift in personnel has occurred in forensic science over the past few years and the “old school” detectives, older sworn personnel, are retiring—leaving it to newer, younger, but more inexperienced civilian personnel to take their place. As a result, and as new technologies are developed and training advances, this book will help bridge the gap between the “new” and “old,” the classroom and the field. CSI training is broadly extensive, though it can often vary in depth. In addition, it is not possible for a CSI to retain absolutely everything that they have been taught while mentally processing the scene they are involved in. This book seeks to address this by covering information for troubleshooting photographs, evidence collection including what evidence to look for and process; and checklists for several types of scenes to ensure all necessary actions are taken.

A reliable reference to confirm steps, reference a chemical field test, or verify the necessary equipment required, the Crime Scene Investigator (CSI) Field Guide serves as an invaluable on-scene tool to any new or seasoned CSI professional.
