II. Working knowledge of personality assessments, investigative strategy, geographic profiling, interviewing techniques, and crime analyses.

IV. Conduct research and analyze data from similar case files in order to reach a conclusion.
V. Engage in ongoing training to remain knowledgeable and learn about new developments in the field.
VI. Conduct yourself in a professional manner and adhere to local laws and regulations.
VII. Provide expert testimony in a court trial as required.
Requirements:
I. Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice, Psychology, or related field.
