WHAT EVIDENCE WOULD YOU COLLECT?
Drug Chemistry– Determines the presence of controlled substances and the identification of
marijuana
Trace Chemistry- Identification and comparison of materials from fires, explosions, paints, and glass.
Microscopy –Microscopic identification and comparison of evidence, such as hairs, fibers, woods, soils, building materials, insulation and other materials.
Biology/DNA –Analysis of body fluids and dried stains such as blood, semen, and saliva.
Toxicology –Tests body fluids and tissues to determine the presence of drugs and
poisons.
Latent Prints - Identification and comparison of fingerprints or other hidden impressions from sources like feet, shoes, ears, lips or the tread on vehicle tires.
Ballistics (Firearms) –study of bullets and ammunition through the comparison of fired bullets, cartridges, guns, and gunpowder patterns on people and objects.
Toolmarks –Examines marks left by tools on objects at a crime scene or on a victim, such as a hammer used to break a door or a screwdriver used to pick a lock.
