Female, 49
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.
Our police officers do, but I'm a civilian forensic specialist, so I didn't. (I also don't carry a gun, don't interview or arrest people and make a lot less money.)
Share Answer: 
I think I am an expert in some areas of forensic science. I am not an expert in law, public safety policy or our political system.

I’m sorry but I don’t understand what you’re asking.
Share Answer: 
Yes, certainly. I didn't manage to find the one piece of evidence that solved the whole thing, but I have worked on several. In my department a double homicide finally broke open after 30 years: https://www.news-press.com/story/news/crime/2020/10/01/joseph-zieler-suspect-two-cape-coral-homicides-seeks-dna-expert/3584935001/

Did you ever deal with people who tried the 'Wesley Snipes' defense?
Nurse Practitioner
Could a nurse practitioner do the job of a primary care physician?
Apparently experimentation has shown it is possible. It gets more likely the longer the gloves are worn.

I’m sorry but I can’t. That’s a question for a toxicologist. I don’t know anything about drug chemistry.
Share Answer: 
As far as the job is concerned, I would think the odds of getting the job would be the same, but there are other considerations. The pay and benefits are different (at least at my agency) between sworn and civilian because they’re different unions. A sworn officer would be taking less pay and benefits to be non-sworn so the hiring party might wonder why, or worry that they would get tired of it and want to leave.
