The members of the Crime Scene / Evidence Technician Unit are all certified evidence technicians and receive specialized training in conducting crime scene investigations, as well as identifying, collecting, and preserving physical evidence.
Evidence technicians must exercise extreme caution to ensure the integrity of the evidence and the methods of collection.
Once evidence technicians transport the evidence back to the lab, they use forensic science to help tell the story of what transpired at the crime scene. Detectives use the test results and expert reports from evidence technicians to build their cases against alleged perpetrators.
