A forensics manager is a professional who oversees the activities that support criminal investigations. They may plan, direct and coordinate various activities related to forensic science within a crime lab or other forensics organization.
Crime lab analysts collect, identify, classify and process evidence collected from crime scenes. They use this evidence to help investigators identify the methods used to commit crimes, the types of materials present and possible suspects.
Toxicologists study the effects of drugs on biological systems as well as the effects of other substances, both natural and man-made. They work with and develop methodologies for determining harmful effects of substances, as well as how to judge correct dosages and therefore avoid them.
Forensic scientists search for and analyze forensic materials found at crime scenes. They then present this evidence for use in legal investigations and courts of law, sometimes being called in themselves to speak in court as experts in their field or to explain the evidence.
