Dear Mr. Austin:

Upon learning of your need for an experienced criminalist to serve the police department of the City of Danbury, I quickly decided to submit the enclosed resume detailing my experience and credentials.

My success lies in my meticulous attention to detail and my ability to effectively communicate with many audiences. These skills, coupled with my extensive forensic expertise, position me to make a substantial and positive contribution to your police department.

Consider the following highlights of my experience:

Performed extensive investigations at crime scenes; studied and uncovered evidence; processed results of investigations and evidence items; and compared and examined latent prints utilizing AFIS and IAFIS as a criminalist for the City of Alamo for 11 years

Prepared detailed reports on findings and relevant evidence for each crime scene

Provided relevant support to police and courts substantiating charges

Received Crime Scene Analyst Certification from the International Association for Identification

Provided expert testimony and interpretation regarding scientific findings
