The Crime Scene Investigator

We begin a new season of The Crime Scene Investigator! In my first episode back behind the mic, I discuss what I've been up to recently, the news surrounding my department, and my first ever court case.    If you have any questions for me, please head over to Twitter and message me - @CSIChrisGee

I go into more depth about DNA than I have previously, and discuss methods on how to recover DNA samples from Crime Scenes. 

There are so many myths and expectations regarding fingerprints, and I aim to answer these in this podcast! Hope you enjoy it and learn a few things.

Ever wondered how to recover an item as evidence, wonder no longer! In this episode I discuss the techniques we use to package some weird and wonderful exhibits. I feel I've said wonder too much...

I catch up with previous guest Hayley and discuss the top 5 types of forensic evidence we collect, their positives and limitations, and which piece of evidence would be most useful in a court room. 

I give you all the tips and tricks to prepare you to enter a crime scene, and we have a silly scenario at the end putting our new skills into practice!

Lots of things can race through my mind whilst dealing with a traumatic crime scene. I look back at some of the difficult times and how I overcame them. 

No guests today, just moi. I talk about the different types of crime a CSI can attend, from burglary to suspicious death. I look into the amount of CSI resources needed for a serious crime and how draining it can be. 

I've got Adelle with me from the Forensic Recovery Unit or FRU (pronounced F-Roo!). She explains the role of the department, how to develop a fingerprint with chemicals, and how difficult it becomes when your office is in an elevator.  

In this episode I have a very special guest Brian Gee (no relation!), a retired Crime Scene Manager and ex CSI. He discusses his new book, which is out now, titled Murder By The Seaside. At the end of the podcast, I read through the first chapter and already I cannot wait to see how the story unfolds. 

What would happen if you were digging up your garden and came across a skull, or you throw a ball for your dog to fetch and she returns with a bone? Find out in this episode with Caroline, a fellow Crime Scene Investigator. 

This episode takes us into the life of CSI Hayley. We discuss juggling the work of a CSI around home life, why females get drawn to the job, and the funny stories that come out of the crime scenes! 

The destructive nature of fire makes arson and fire investigation rather tricky, however experts are always on hand to provide specialist skills. In this podcast, I chat with Fire Scientist Iain Peck from Prometheus Forensic Services.

Ever wondered the steps to take in order to become a CSI, or what different career paths are available. We discuss everything from choosing the right courses in education, to how to write a good application form.  

We kick off this podcast journey by chatting to a number 1 best selling crime author, Peter James. Peter discusses his new book and some exciting news for the future.
