Explorer CSI
CSI Explorers learn the basic principles behind analyzing crime scenes. Explorers are trained how to investigate scenes and how to collect and analyze the evidence. Additionally, Explorers learn how to use equipment in the LVMPD Crime Lab to perform tests on items found at a crime scene including fingerprints, hair, tissue, and blood samples.
During ride-alongs with LVMPD Crime Scene Analysts, CSI Explorers respond to actual crime scenes throughout the Las Vegas valley and see exactly how they're processed.
CSI Explorers learn:
- Evidence collection
- Photography
- Fingerprint processing
- Crime scene reconstruction
- Crime scene searching
Because there is an education requirement to become a Crime Scene Analyst, Explorers must be currently enrolled in either high school or college.
