Agree 100%. Want to be a detective? Be a good street cop for a few years first. There really is no replacement for the experience gained by being a patrol officer.
I'm a CSI student and I landed an internship at a coroner's office. It was very easy to get in and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about how the whole system works. I figured it was good to get in on a county level, get my foot in the door. Then I'm gonna apply for forensic tech jobs cuz I heard they hire civilians sometimes. I'm hoping the internships I plan to do will count as experience and I'll get some good references.
how do you usually find internships in the criminal field? Like who do you reach out to during college? And btw, local police departments DO hire civilians for forensic technicians, they will serve as non-sworn but will work with the station.
I did find 2 CsI jobs for civilians. And he admits they exist rarely. But it was just those 2 OR 3 I saw for the WHOLE COUNTRY. CSI jobs, no matter the department, seem not to be numerous.
I agree 100% i know so many people who assume to be a Detective you can just go right into it but that isn't the case.Personally I haven't met one Detective who wasn't a patrol officer and i know many of them all different agencies. Great Video.
we had one that was never a patrol officer and was a detective. But she got busted back when the police chief that hired her got fired. He was giving black people positions they were not qualified for because they were black.
Or irs just interesting in and of itself. I love the original CSI, but I know the make things flashy, and that the actual crime lab jobs are slower and wayyyyyyy more tedious
Depends on the agency, one of my coworkers went through the academy with his associates in criminal justice, was recruited by a local PD, was one of the only people in his agency that attended the extra training to become a detective, and within 1 year became a detective for his agency. Then there's my cousin who worked at a PD for over 5 years, was great at his job and had military experience who was turned down as a detective, but now he is one of the undercover agents for the DEA.
@@xandriajones6381 yes he's very lucky. He makes 6 figures and gets a monthly budget for suits so he can dress nice. Also gets to take his undercover patrol vehicle home and have fun pulling over people that don't use their blinkers and cut him off lol.
Dustin Patchett , sounds like fun. I’ll get there. I’m not scared of a little competition & the dude that made this video I love the honesty but what people have to understand is , if you want to get somewhere you can’t be worrying about others , worry about getting there and trying , doing your best like he said in the video. Good luck 🍀 everyone . 🙏🏽
So become a detective on television. You'll almost always solve the case, and you ain't gonna really die in any of the shootouts. And who knows, if you're that good on television, you'll graduate to the movies and that's when the big bucks start rolling in.
Thanks, I'm a high school student trying to decide what to be in the future and so far I had only thought of being a doctor or something that family approved but today at church a girl(a pretty one) said that she wanted to be a detective, opening my curiosity on the topic and I think that going through the 5-10 years of career as an normal officer or patrol would be actually a pretty good way to earn experience and learn. THANKS you opened my mind
@@breytond3381 Senior year of highschool now, I have an actual interest in the field of law enforcement besides a pretty girl suggesting it. Going into university next semester and life kinda sucks, but hey at least we living.
Just a note: if you are looking to get into the FBI, they often require at least 3 years of work experience in your field - unless you have worked at an internship with them.
What he's explaining makes absolute, complete sense! In order to become an SVU - Special Victim's Unit Detective takes time because it's dealing with a lot of serious cases of child physical, emotional, psychological, sexual abuse, neglect and injustice. Which SVU Law Enforcement Detectives do their best to help people and assist them in ways that actually make a positive, real difference.
Thank you for the slap in the face wake up call. I still will not shy away from this field. If being a outstanding patrol man is where I start. I'll do that. I will focus my all into achieving my goal. If I fail detectives test; I will do it again and over. Thank you for the realism.
I love you honesty, personality, straightforwardness of all this information. You kept me intrigued the whole time. I'm glad that there are still people out there who want to just provide honest information. Thank you.
You don't need to be a cop to be a crime scene investigator. Most agency's have civilian CSI techs, so that misconception that you need to be a cop is old school mentality.
This explained a lot and is what I thought the process would be thanks. I am a small girl trying to become a cop and would like to go into investigating human trafficking but I will go slow and start from the bottom and get all of my basic skills developed to be an all around good cop in general before looking to get into a more specific field. As a small girl though, hoping to get out of patrol after ten years or less would be nice. I feel like I will enjoy that aspect but it’s dangerous especially for someone like myself unfortunately.
Thanks for your realistic and down to earth take on this topic. I remember when I was in high school, i took a special class where a Forensic investigator came in as a guest speaker from the Michigan State Police Lab, and all she did was homicides day in and day out, and specifically said that she didn't do anything that was commonly seen on TV. I'd be interested if you knew anything about getting into K9 at all. I'm still in college and I had the Master K9 trainer from my local sheriffs department in one of my classes, and I failed to ask that question before he had to leave the presentation to go to a call.
+gtlance101 much the same as being G a detective except you have to have an impeccable use of force record. A dog is like a shotgun that has a mind if it's own.
That makes a LOT of sense to become a very good street cop first. THEN after doing that, demonstrate by behavior, attitude, and helping people, saving lives and improving things in this world!!
Thank you for your honest feedback as I am working eagerly to to achieve a career in forensics. I have been considering just starting out as a police officer because I have had the same advice from some fellow cops that I've been talking to, and they basically said everything you just did which confirms it all that much and more. Thank you for all you do and for your contribution to your community!
Been wanting to be an Homicide Detective for about 2 years now and I’m graduating from high school in May 2024. I’ve been looking for a good college for a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. After watching this video, I became a bit upset, undetermined, and unsure of myself because everything that you pointed out about the process of actually becoming a homicide detective is the opposite of everything I was told on the internet. I wish I would’ve watched this video about 2 years ago and I wouldn’t be as upset as I am because I wouldn’t have wasted my time on the internet. I really didn’t want to be a police officer and having to wait 8-10 years, on top of having to take a test and having a slight chance that I’ll get the job I been wanting and working for. I know success takes time which is why I’m going to try it and follow thru with the process and have a backup career in mind in case this whole Homicide Detective process doesn’t follow thru successfully. Thank you so much for this video and opening my eyes.
Omg same. I’m graduating from high school in May this year to. And I feel the same after watching this video I felt a little sad because I don’t want it to take me that long to get to my dream job you know?
For CSI i think it comes down to your studies. That field is always expanding and in need. Get you credentials and once you are good at it getting a job will be easy because they will look at what your about. If your street smart even better
Can you make a video on how to get on a police tac response team (SWAT), since we're talking about jobs that people see on TV and get excited about? or , maybe close protection secret service type jobs?
I was going to ask the same thing. I'm planning on becoming a SRT (special response team which is just the department's name for SWAT) with my local sheriff's office once I've been in for awhile.
+Maccabee Luke 22:36 start eating your Wheaties, lift heavy, run distance, drink alot, and get ready for your already screwed up schedule being a bit more screwed.
Austin Stotelmyre a lot of the agencies you have to have x amount of professional work experience before even applying to work at the fbi, cia, dea, etc. But of course there are exceptions but I doubt any of these people will be the exception.

The college kids seem to do better on the academic stuff and talking to people and the military guys seem to do better keeping their cool under stress... At least the ones who worked a stressful job in the service.
I was very on the fence on if police training was needed and even though this video is 6 years old, im still gonna take your advice and get real field training on top of some college
Wow this was amazing as a highschooler looking into colleges and jobs ive always loved forensics and crime things. I never understood how truly fictional they are until now tho. This insight was very important
@@sariah9387 Nowadays I am in College for political science and working a high-end job in the tech and business industry. Overall I want to finish my degree and then go to law school. Thank you for asking, I hope you can find a job doing what you love.
8:35 the high school class in forensic is mainly just an option for people who don't want to take an actual science class their senior year. I know because I took one in high school. Half the class we just watched OJ Simpson. No one was really interested in Law Enforcement.
Honestly if you do go to college do not just get a Criminal Justice degree. Look to major or minor in psychology, intelligence analysis, or even political science. Many big departments in my area prefer people with a broad spectrum of education rather than just criminal justice.
People are saying how they don’t really wanna be a detective anymore after hearing this, but my dreams aren’t crushed at all, all I know is that I’m gonna need to work harder. And if I start at 11 then I’ll have plenty of time to work hard. Who knows what’ll happen, obviously not me so I wanna see how this’ll play out
I've asked a few police officers about how they got where they're at and most will say it just became their "niche." Very interesting how a person can go into the force expecting something but find something totally different yet quite suiting.
i was expecting to be put down by this, but in reality it is as i expected, it just like a job where you have to gain experience and work your way up with time.
One thing that this gentleman didn’t go over, state bureau of investigation. Most states have them and you can get in with a bachelors degree. If you want to be a detective as soon as possible this is your best route.
I’m 12 and ever since I was 5 I always wanted too be apart of law enforcement but mostly CSI,detective (or bounty hunter but I live in Canada and it’s illegal here 😭)
Bounty hunters are a bunch of wannabes who like to buy cool looking gear and harass people. They are not law enforcement in any way and have no business being associated with law enforcement. Stick to aiming for a more respectable professional.
So now I know why said to get an accounting degree last month! Which division/section do you prefer best and would rather work in: patrol, traffic, SWAT, violent offenders or what?
How do i become a patrol officer or Private Investigator? I would like to be on the scene figuring it what happen then to be collecting evidence. ( i hope that made sense).
I am told a lot that I would be a good detective, csi agent, cop etc, and I think that is sounded really boring. Lol. It was never something I’ve considered as a career. I don’t really have a taste for government work in the first place, it baffles me that my skills point at that very thing. Everything u just told me sounds about right as far as my expectations took me. I’m here cuz I was looking at RUclips video that suggested it as a high paying job that only requires a high-school diploma and on the job experience. But sounds like something I would have a hard time balancing while having a baby to take care of.
Do you think a young 22 or 23 year old would have a better chance at landing a Career in any given department if they put themselves through and academy or peace officer certified training course before applying for the job?
I would say it would help, it makes you marketable. The department wouldn't have to invest as much money into you. But ultimately it just depends on what the department is looking for and if your personality, ethics, etc.. fit in with the department. At lease here in Texas where I'm at.
you just broke my heart hearing this i'm 27 and about to graduate to my next level for a bachelors degree and i was going to change my major to criminal justice to become a detective. and now im shook and with hope FUCK!
What would getting a criminal justice degree have to do with being a detective? Nothing in those classes is pertinent to detective work. Accounting maybe if you were going to work financial crimes.
One thing that was missed. It’s all well and good to have goals. Don’t give up on goals. However in the case of my department. Sometimes it takes years for a position to even come open to be promoted to a detective position. Just have to pay the “dues” and prove your worth it to the department.
I’m 12 and ever since I was a kid I mean I still am a kid but like when I was younger I wanted to be a detective just like Sherlock Holmes and I’ve read so many books of him and I saw the show too
To become sherlock your need to create a mind palace I your head and master it and you need to learn how to notice the small details that creates the big picture.
+ICY-HURR I do what I love brother. I've always said I'd rather have 600 subscribers who want to learn than 10,000 who weren't invested. In my book I've already won.
The thing to remember about being a P.I. is that you are typically hired by a private person or a company to investigate. Police don't contract out. The vast majority of your work will be civil (insurance claims, cheating spouses, maybe even background investigation) Any criminal work you do would have to be related to something the client wants. The most common example I could think of is fraud. Even then your evidence would likely be used in civil proceedings (lawsuits etc) or handed off to the police. Its extremely rare for P.I.s to get anything really big, and in those rare cases it's usually desperate families hiring someone to investigate a cold case or something
It’s a lot of bs paperwork which you can have an assistant do for you.. while a guy not knowing anything but what he memorized in college.. attempts to solve a crime.. this is why nothing gets done
I would like to add to the myth busting also, as I fell for the trap (sort of ) myself. I wanted to get into training people. On the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 I shut my construction company down and went back to college at 39 years old. The school never told me until after I got there that there are age limits on Federal employment. Once I knew this they told me to hang in because the Fed's were going to raise the age, and they did, to one year younger than I was at graduation. All the local agencies around me have "no tobacco for two years" policies. So I am now in private security trying to dig my way up and out. Do not think that how well you do in college and/or how much prior experience you have will walk you in the door (despite what the guidance counselors say). Just my 2 pennies.
I really want to be a csi agent because I’m interested in things like that and criminal minds is one of my favorite shows plus I live in Tallahassee go and it’s the murder capital of Florida so these type of jobs are in high demand
+Pvt Torres Yeah, our Explorer program gets kids into taking pictures and dusting and stuff. But most if crime scene investigation is logging evidence and bagging things properly.
I’m only 11 but when I get older I would like to be one I do little riddles and story’s that haven’t been solved but at the same time I’m scared I don’t wanna get shot or targeted some how....
This is what i needed to hear. The truth. Not a sugar-coated, unrealistic, expectation for what could potentially happen.

Austin Stotelmyre a lot of the agencies you have to have x amount of professional work experience before even applying to work at the fbi, cia, dea, etc. But of course there are exceptions but I doubt any of these people will be the exception.
nah it doesnt work they patched it
im 15 and aspiring to be a detective/criminal investigator... not so much after hearing the reality ahahah
if its your dream you should still aim for it. im 15 too and im still sticking to it tho ik its gunna be tough. good luck!
@@osariemen. damnnnnn that makes me feel alot moree hopefull icl. Yh i thought about it and the hard work will pay off as its a respected job ig . Good luck to you too!!!
@@heftyballs4673 thanks 😁
Damn we're all 15 and all of us want to become a detective xD
@@denji5604 yurrr eheheh
What type of education (college degree) would you recommend before becoming an officer and climbing the ladder to CSI or Detective?
Neither of those would have any effect. In fact, getting a BS in "forensics" is a bit if a joke at police departments.
free field training
That didn’t answer my question but I appreciate the reply...
I got a video on that already : ruclips.net/video/TJ1-YjAS34E/видео.html
free field training What's the best way to join the feds?
I think it's just a diploma or GED
I couldn't go thru poloce academy training due to injuries, but I do have the brains and skills to do the job
Love the new intro!
+RLE 👍👍👍
Thank you for decluttering all the confusion on such....very predatory of Colleges to do such...
From your experience what makes a better rookie, prior military or someone with a degree in criminal justice or something along those lines?
+NLB itsJustBEAN I've had guys from both backgrounds who did really well. I don't think their is an inherit advantage to either. The college kids seem to do better on the academic stuff and talking to people and the military guys seem to do better keeping their cool under stress... At least the ones who worked a stressful job in the service.
I was very on the fence on if police training was needed and even though this video is 6 years old, im still gonna take your advice and get real field training on top of some college
Where I live, you have to be a patrol officer for at least 5 years. And you have to test in to it.
If you want these type of jobs don't be discouraged...apply where the death percentage is high...Im in stl...
Thank you. I highly appreciate your honesty.
I am good at paper work, Analizing information, investigatting, findifn clues, connecting dots, etc
Wow this was amazing as a highschooler looking into colleges and jobs ive always loved forensics and crime things. I never understood how truly fictional they are until now tho. This insight was very important
where you at now?
@@sariah9387 Nowadays I am in College for political science and working a high-end job in the tech and business industry. Overall I want to finish my degree and then go to law school. Thank you for asking, I hope you can find a job doing what you love.
8:35 the high school class in forensic is mainly just an option for people who don't want to take an actual science class their senior year. I know because I took one in high school. Half the class we just watched OJ Simpson. No one was really interested in Law Enforcement.
Thank you so much for this post, was at a crossroads when choosing my career until now!
+Victor bautista well, I'm happy to help.
Honestly if you do go to college do not just get a Criminal Justice degree. Look to major or minor in psychology, intelligence analysis, or even political science. Many big departments in my area prefer people with a broad spectrum of education rather than just criminal justice.
+BuckSlayer4891 Yeah, CRJ is the last thing I would go to college for unless the agency I wanted to go into required it.
The only way I think you can be a detective at age 25 is if you are L.
Or spencer Reid ...
Any of the wammy kids and L

People are saying how they don’t really wanna be a detective anymore after hearing this, but my dreams aren’t crushed at all, all I know is that I’m gonna need to work harder. And if I start at 11 then I’ll have plenty of time to work hard. Who knows what’ll happen, obviously not me so I wanna see how this’ll play out
Thank you for making this video, it was very informative!
A good alternative for CSI is EMT. Consider using your investigative minds and bravery to save someone's life daily. The ER needs your skill set!
you kept saying a goofy college kid, but what about someone leaving the military with a degree. would that make a difference?
I've asked a few police officers about how they got where they're at and most will say it just became their "niche." Very interesting how a person can go into the force expecting something but find something totally different yet quite suiting.
+Jack Hammer I know that's exactly how I fell into doing field training.
i was expecting to be put down by this, but in reality it is as i expected, it just like a job where you have to gain experience and work your way up with time.
One thing that this gentleman didn’t go over, state bureau of investigation. Most states have them and you can get in with a bachelors degree. If you want to be a detective as soon as possible this is your best route.
We don't have those around me. What states have them and what are the manpower numbers they put up?
U nail this area on head. Right to the point.
Do you think having a military police background would help?
I really wanted to be a csi Lmaoo now I’m having doubts cause I am down to put in the work but I don’t wanna be no street cop 😂

I’m 12 and ever since I was 5 I always wanted too be apart of law enforcement but mostly CSI,detective (or bounty hunter but I live in Canada and it’s illegal here 😭)
Bounty hunters are a bunch of wannabes who like to buy cool looking gear and harass people. They are not law enforcement in any way and have no business being associated with law enforcement. Stick to aiming for a more respectable professional.
@@RexForger I never said that a bounty hunter was apart of law enforcement
So now I know why said to get an accounting degree last month! Which division/section do you prefer best and would rather work in: patrol, traffic, SWAT, violent offenders or what?
+Nøderak I am working and love working in patrol. It is a new adventure every day.
How do i become a patrol officer or Private Investigator?
I would like to be on the scene figuring it what happen then to be collecting evidence. ( i hope that made sense).
I am told a lot that I would be a good detective, csi agent, cop etc, and I think that is sounded really boring. Lol. It was never something I’ve considered as a career. I don’t really have a taste for government work in the first place, it baffles me that my skills point at that very thing. Everything u just told me sounds about right as far as my expectations took me.
I’m here cuz I was looking at RUclips video that suggested it as a high paying job that only requires a high-school diploma and on the job experience. But sounds like something I would have a hard time balancing while having a baby to take care of.
I took a forensic science class for 2 years in high school it was a block class period too(2 times as long as a regular class)
Do you think a young 22 or 23 year old would have a better chance at landing a Career in any given department if they put themselves through and academy or peace officer certified training course before applying for the job?
+Space Light since in my state that isn't even allowed I would have to admit that I don't really know.
I would say it would help, it makes you marketable. The department wouldn't have to invest as much money into you. But ultimately it just depends on what the department is looking for and if your personality, ethics, etc.. fit in with the department. At lease here in Texas where I'm at.
Basically you have to be a cop first
Exactly
Even for forensics?
Great insights about becoming a detective.
Thank you for this video. Thanks for telling the truth.
you just broke my heart hearing this i'm 27 and about to graduate to my next level for a bachelors degree and i was going to change my major to criminal justice to become a detective. and now im shook and with hope FUCK!
What would getting a criminal justice degree have to do with being a detective? Nothing in those classes is pertinent to detective work. Accounting maybe if you were going to work financial crimes.
Thanks I’m in love with csi and I know the tv show is not like real life but I’m want to move to my and become a csi
Is it possible to become a police officer in the USA if I raised in Germany and went to a german school?
One thing that was missed. It’s all well and good to have goals. Don’t give up on goals. However in the case of my department. Sometimes it takes years for a position to even come open to be promoted to a detective position. Just have to pay the “dues” and prove your worth it to the department.
I’m 12 and ever since I was a kid I mean I still am a kid but like when I was younger I wanted to be a detective just like Sherlock Holmes and I’ve read so many books of him and I saw the show too
To become sherlock your need to create a mind palace I your head and master it and you need to learn how to notice the small details that creates the big picture.
I’m in crime investigation at school right now
Work for it and you can do it!
I believe in you, 12yo I've never met!
your channel is gonna blow up soon. good job being persist for soo long
+ICY-HURR I do what I love brother. I've always said I'd rather have 600 subscribers who want to learn than 10,000 who weren't invested. In my book I've already won.
Is it realistic to work on criminal cases regularly as a private investigator without going into the police academy to get your license?
The thing to remember about being a P.I. is that you are typically hired by a private person or a company to investigate. Police don't contract out. The vast majority of your work will be civil (insurance claims, cheating spouses, maybe even background investigation)
Any criminal work you do would have to be related to something the client wants. The most common example I could think of is fraud. Even then your evidence would likely be used in civil proceedings (lawsuits etc) or handed off to the police. Its extremely rare for P.I.s to get anything really big, and in those rare cases it's usually desperate families hiring someone to investigate a cold case or something
It’s a lot of bs paperwork which you can have an assistant do for you.. while a guy not knowing anything but what he memorized in college.. attempts to solve a crime.. this is why nothing gets done
thanks for the advice!
+Mr. Hooper 👍👍👍
JROTC is the high school class for paying taxes and mortgages, but I agree that it is rare.
This just ruined my dreams 😃
What did u expect?
Could you do a similar video about becoming an officer in other specialized units, particular moving from Patrol into K9 work?
+Stephen Butcher I can work on it.
I wonder if being Military and having a CA (Civil Affairs) back ground would one be able to land this type of job
I wanted to become a forensic ballistic expert until I found out it’s extremely fucking hard and competitive and probably not worth it
We all now know how he feels about college students.
I would like to add to the myth busting also, as I fell for the trap (sort of ) myself.
I wanted to get into training people. On the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 I shut my construction company down and went back to college at 39 years old. The school never told me until after I got there that there are age limits on Federal employment. Once I knew this they told me to hang in because the Fed's were going to raise the age, and they did, to one year younger than I was at graduation. All the local agencies around me have "no tobacco for two years" policies.
So I am now in private security trying to dig my way up and out.
Do not think that how well you do in college and/or how much prior experience you have will walk you in the door (despite what the guidance counselors say).
Just my 2 pennies.
+Scott Christie yep, remember those guidance counselors are salesmen. They are there to sell you classes.
Just wish that with all that smoke they blew up there, it would have been scented......
I would at least have a use for that!
Very Informative, thank you!
I praise you for this video👍🏾
Thank you for the insight!
I really want to be a csi agent because I’m interested in things like that and criminal minds is one of my favorite shows plus I live in Tallahassee go and it’s the murder capital of Florida so these type of jobs are in high demand
damn this was hella helpful, thank you
you wanna do some crime scene investigations? go to explorers
+Pvt Torres Yeah, our Explorer program gets kids into taking pictures and dusting and stuff. But most if crime scene investigation is logging evidence and bagging things properly.
Thank you for this!
I’m only 11 but when I get older I would like to be one I do little riddles and story’s that haven’t been solved but at the same time I’m scared I don’t wanna get shot or targeted some how....
That’s not the reality of it dear...unless you already have 5-10+ years of experience
Thank you !!!
