Acting Inspector Brad Mason started his forensic career as a photographer and is now an experienced crime scene investigator with Victoria Police. Brad helps us understand how to process the suspicious death scene and why forensic science actually starts well before the lab.  Brad walks us through the meticulous nature of crime scene investigation (CSI) and why investigators have ‘one chance to get it right’. Ali and Stephen talk through the critical steps of CSI from the initial assessment, scene control, recording of the scene and item/trace identification, recognition and collection.
