I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
I'm sorry, but I have no idea. I don't work in digital forensics.
Share Answer: 
I don't know of any particular mathematics requirements. You'd need enough basic math skills to balance chemical equations, calculate reagents in formulas, and record accurate measurements. Ballistics or accident investigation might need more advanced skills, but I would not know about that. Good luck!
Share Answer: 
Yes, absolutely. As long as the sample is dried thoroughly before it can decompose and kept someplace dry and not overly humid or hot, it would be fine.
Share Answer: 
Excellent question! I’d have more equipment, more salary and more hair, so that would be better. I would also apparently have no life outside my job, so that would be worse.

What do you think that New York does better or worse than other States?
Yes, about 60 times over 25 years. But not nearly as often as you'd think.
Share Answer: 
It’s whatever the particular agency’s Standard Operating Procedures require. Each police agency can make their own requirements.

I see that on TV all the time but I have a hard time believing it. But I don't know personally. Sorry!
