Well it all depends on what your police or federal departments are requiring. For instance if you apply for local police you have to do sometime on patrol for a good amount of years and later you may apply for any of the crime scene investigations unit in which you are interested, assuming there is openings.
Of course, the department will have to send you to several training courses so you can better apply on what your doing as a crime scene investigator. Therefore, like I said, it depends the requirements in which you are applying for and it can take a good while until you actually reach to be a crime scene investigator.
Good luck!

Watch 300 episodes of CSI. Just kidding but I would assume some time in law enforcement, to learn the basic principles, and a degree in psychology, or criminal justice.
