It is loaded with info on different careers, including CSI and the requirements for such a position. But in short, depending on the department you might not need to be a police officer to do crime scene work. If you’re interested in being a detective (aka investigator) then you must be a police officer first. It’s a different investigator position from the CSI one. I also know of a few detectives who have CSI qualifications to handle and collect evidence at a crime scene. The options seem to be many. Some common majors for CSIs are Forensic Science, Criminal Justice, Biology, and Chemistry. I would recommend you speak with your high school counselor about you career choice and so you talk to him/her about college majors, too. Run a search for “CSI” on my site to get more great info about the career. Please see the list of careers on my site.
