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 don’t interview suspects—or victims or witnesses.That’s the detective’s job. I’m there to analyze and collect evidence.

As absolutely no agency I've ever heard of requires an IQ test for hire, I would have no idea.
Share Answer: 
I’m sorry, but I can’t. I haven’t done DNA analysis in over 20 years. Sorry I couldn’t help!

Yes.

Share Answer: 
It helps. But I know good homicide detectives who do it for years and still have a weak stomach and they do fine.
Share Answer: 
I am an expert in some areas of forensic science. I am not an expert in law, public safety policy or our political system.
