The crime scene will actually be the safest place you visit, since you’ll get there after it all goes down. The danger will come as you hunt for bad guys. Get ready to dodge bullets (if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball), run down alleys, and snoop where others would never dare. That’s the job.

Be smart and make sure that your partner has your back.
