Information for those who need it. Many departments are moving to civilians for their forensics and crime scene units. The favorable and desirable degrees usually are Criminal Justice, Forensic Science, or Criminology. The next acceptable are Chemistry, Biology, or psychology. Degree levels can range from Associates to bachelor’s and some departments are now seeking Masters. (This is only a very limited number of departments). So, I hope this helps! 😊
I have a master degree in criminology and just shy of defending my thesis to complete my master degree in clinical psychology. I'm interested in being a criminologist. Where would you begin?
Depends on where you live and who you wanna work for. Go to any agency you like. Whether it be local, an area you like, the climate, etc. if you don’t wanna work for a police agency then I’m not much for help. My department only recently turned to civilian contracted CSI’s.
I'm trying to get into this specific work currently and everyone I talk to says I have to be a sworn officer this is so helpful to know some places don't require that because I don't want to be an officer
I'm a CSI student and I really want to work but was told I needed to be a civilian. It makes me hopeful that not all places require you to be a sworn officer. Maybe I'll apply in North Carolina!
Not all CSIs are sworn. You just need to check around and ask. When I first started, 35 years ago, I was one of three civilian CSIs in my department. The others were sworn. As the sworn CSIs retired, they were replaced by non-sworn CSIs. Now, everyone in my unit is non-sworn, including supervisors.
Do you know other departments that have civilian crime scene investigators? Im about to graduate, I live in Cali and have no idea how to find what police departments has civilian crime scene investigators.

If you look at state crime labs jobs the requirement is generally a degree “in a physical science.” Criminal justice degrees are not accepted for these roles (at least at the state of NC level)
