Are you interested in a career as a forensic investigator?

If you are seeking a career where you can apply scientific analysis and the interpretation of evidence to help solve crime, then don’t miss hearing from Old Girl Joanne Jennings (Class of 1997) at lunchtime on Tuesday 14 June in OG9. Currently employed as a Crime Scene Officer with NSW Police, Joanne’s role is to examine crime scenes and report on what she finds for the NSW Coroner, the NSW Police and the Court system. Joanne has been performing this role for about 15 years which includes attending scenes that require her to examine a stolen vehicle for fingerprints through to homicides. Before working for the NSW Police, Joanne was an investigator for the NSW Environmental Authority and has worked with various local governments in similar roles. Joanne has a Bachelor of Social Science (Justice Studies- Criminal Justice) from Charles Sturt University, an Advanced Diploma in Forensic Science and is currently completing her Graduate Certificate in Crime Scene Examination. This is a great opportunity for students, particularly those in Years 10 -12, to hear about Joanne’s experience and ask her questions that will help guide their future study and career choices.
