Taking DNA Sample
A Greater Manchester Police crime scene investigator (CSI) collects a blood sample from a broken window.
Crime scene investigators attend incidents across the Force’s area to collect evidence that may prove vital to an investigation. They undertake a wide range of tasks including examining crime scenes for fingerprints, taking photographs and collecting samples that may yield DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) evidence.
This painstaking and meticulous work involves high levels of skill and concentration but forensic evidence can be a vital aid to solving crime. CSIs can spend many hours or even days recovering evidence at the scenes of the most serious of crimes.
