Crime Scene Investigation
CIT is one of Australia's pioneers and current leaders in the field of forensic science education. We train crime scene examiners from every Australian state and territory police force, so you know the training you'll get is as real and relevant as it gets. We also train police forensic scientists from around the world, through the National Centre for Forensic Studies - our partnership with the Australian Federal Police and the University of Canberra.
The CIT campus in the suburb of Bruce in Canberra is used by the National Centre partners for practical, hands-on training and experience. At our campus you can experience the real-life forensic house, where you can interpret bloodspatter in recreated crime scenes, use the 'polilight' to reveal hidden fingerprints, excavate buried remains and use the latest technology to analyse evidence.
Our shared National Centre for Forensic Studies laboratory, also in Bruce, is equipped with state of the art instrumentation for the scientific analysis of illicit drugs, explosives, chemical and biological trace evidence and fingerprints.
