“I pursued a career as a forensic scientist at VCSO because it would allow me the opportunity to use my academic and professional experience to serve the community where I grew up.” Meet Dennise Heredia! Dennise is a Forensic Scientist in our Crime Scene Investigations/Fingerprint Unit. “What I enjoy most about being a forensic scientist in the CSI/Fingerprint Unit is the ability to work both in the field and in the lab. In certain cases, I get to be at the crimes scene, working with the investigators, collecting items of evidence, and then analyzing the evidence back at the lab. It is very neat to be part of that process. I know that my kids think that what I do is cool, but also hope they see how meaningful this work is to me. I hope they see how proud I am to do what I get to do.” . . .
