| How many of you are familiar with Sirchie? If you are, how highly would you recommend taking their Evidence Collection Training Program for someone trying to get into LE? |

I have used sirchie tape and powder, and other LP supplies many times, but never taken any classes from them.
I think you may have things backwards. You get into LE, then you go to the fun classes and get the fun jobs. Not usually the other way around, unless you want to be a non-sworn technician. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Some agencies have sworn personnel that do the CST work, some have non-sworn. If you have the time and money, any training and education from a recognized sources is a plus. |

I've been told it will look great on a resume and really make me stand out in a pool of applicants. while that may seem true, it doesnt actually mean that you will get the job when it comes up, just my opinion. We have had people come to our dept who where cert evidence techs at other depts and they were passed over when an evidence tech spot came up at our place. Build and advance your career on your REPUTATION not the classes that you have attended. I say this being a 15year vet, a cert ET, FTO, Dept trainer in a couple of fields and a Major case Detective.
