I agree that crime scene investigators can study a related field but they all need to obtain the same level of education. I also believe that after college there should be a required class to ensure that the same information is being reached out. This would provide a smooth operation. Everything would be done to one accord. This is not something that only the US has to consider. Crime scene investigators throughout the world should be able to follow the same guidelines. This could be beneficial in a way that if someone comes from another country, transferring between jobs would be easy. They would already have all the qualifications and training
