Citizens frequently associate criminal investigations with detectives. Detectives are only a part of the
investigation. There are other police personnel involved in investigations. Your assignment is to visit the
Georgia Bureau of Investigations Division of Forensic Sciences website (https://dofsgbi.georgia.gov/departments). Discuss what you reviewed. In your discussion, answer the following questions:
- What are the nine different departments within the Forensic Science Division?
- What are the purposes/primary functions of each department?
- Why is evidence collection important and in what ways can collecting evidence impact testing results?
