The term “forensic science” refers to any science used in a court of law. Forensic science is a vital part of the civil and criminal justice systems and is used to assist triers of fact in answering questions of causation and liability.
Certain types of forensic science have been popularized – and to some extent mythologized - by television shows and crime novels. Forensic science, however, encompasses much more than just DNA analysis or autopsies.

How to Pass Your Law Enforcement Job Background
One of the most common
questions when applying for law enforcement jobs is how to
pass the background investigation. Many applicants either
get rejected or if they have been hired end up being
terminated because they either provided false information on
their background forms, or failed to disclose information.
That makes this even more unfortunate, especially for the
applicant, is that had they been truthful with the
information, that information would not have interfered with
them getting hired. However, providing the false information
was more serious than what they were trying to cover up.
