Completing interviews to acquire a position is the next crucial component to becoming a crime scene investigator. Interviews confirm whether or not I am likely to succeed within the organization and on the job (Psi). Interviews will also evaluate my work experience, introduce me to the company, assess my hard and soft skills, discover how qualified I am, and define the position and company expectations (“Why Interviews Are An Important Part of the Recruitment Process”). Additionally, interviews allow me to exhibit my understanding of forensic processes, capacity to operate under pressure, and communication skills, all of which are required in the field of crime scene investigation.

Depending on the stage of the investigation, the science can be performed by crime scene investigators, CSIs, as well as experts that analyze the firearms or tool marks in a laboratory setting. If the crime scene is being evaluated and combed for bullets, weapons, or tool marks, it is up to the crime scene investigator to find the evidence. Once the investigator has found it, however, it then makes its way to the firearm and tool mark examiner who will analyze all of

However, police officers are the people that use criminal profiling in their everyday lives. Criminal profiling has been a great controversy over the years. Many people believe that criminal profiling
identification did not occur for nearly 500 years. In the earliest part of the last century (1900-1930) such scientific analysis of firearms and tool-mark identification became a recognized science in several worldwide judicial systems due to vast research by pioneering examiners such as Colonel Calvin Goddard, a professor of police science at Northwestern. In 1925 Goddard wrote an article for the Army Ordnance titled "Forensic Ballistics" in which he described the use of the comparison microscope
