So, you want to be a crime scene specialist?  A forensic scientist?  A master of evidence procurement and analysis?

This is for you.  Even if you are not career searching, a True Crime fan will want to hear what this fascinating world is, by those that live there.

For this 3-part mini-series, David and Wendy sat down with two forensic scientists from Kentucky State Police Forensic Services for a candid conversation that have made careers at the lab: Division Director Laura Sudkamp and Forensic Scientist Specialist II Marci Adkins.

One of the big highlights of David’s time in homicide, was working with the professionals at Kentucky State Police Forensic Services.  Everyone was always willing to go above and beyond.  As a detective, everyone knew these people were clearly on the team.  They were educational (yes, they would tell you whether you were in the right direction), and really took the protocols seriously to safely fact-find.

As with any REAL team, many detectives and scientists got to know one another over the years, and instead of a just a name and a signature on a lab report, detectives knew just who they were.

Unlike TV and Hollywood fantasy, the field of forensics is very real, and extremely dedicated people make careers in the industry; quietly seeking the truth and providing advocacy for crime victims.

These episodes are for the true True Crime fan, that is interested in the mechanics of murder investigation, not just the salacious details of a murder.  For those that are interested in entering the world of forensics as a career, this is a must listen!  And as always on The Murder Police Podcast, we explore the personal side of this work, not just the technical.

So, take a listen and make sure you tell your friends about these episodes, especially if they are interested in making a difference through an amazing career!
