It is hypothesized that crime scene investigators are affected by critical incident trauma exposure. Crime scene investigators in a sizable Midwestern state self-reported data, which was used to analyze individual and organizational attribution factors. In order to assess the level of stress associated with CSI work and the type of organizational support offered to the investigator, this research examines significant aspects of the employment of a crime scene investigator. The job's nature can result in high levels of professional and personal stress, with work-related stress frequently fueling personal stress, even when preliminary studies point to a high degree of job satisfaction. Future research topics and policy implications for decreasing officer stress are highlighted.
