49. Supervising Beyond Your Speciality: Fast-Tracking Your Understanding of a New Forensic Unit with CHRIS DECKER
What do you do when you’re suddenly in charge of a forensic unit you’ve never worked in? In this episode of Forensics Unfiltered, we sit down with Chris Decker, Forensic Laboratory Supervisor at the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, to talk about the real challenges (and opportunities!) of supervising beyond your forensic specialty.
From shadowing team members to identifying workflow roadblocks, Chris shares how he quickly got up to speed with his new latent print unit — and built trust along the way. Whether you’re a newly promoted forensic supervisor or just inherited a unit outside your area of expertise, this conversation is packed with honest insights and actionable advice.
