Police men need science to test the DNA and fingerprints of the criminals. To test the presence of blood, they have to do chemical tests. They also need it to test the urine and blood samples for alcohol and drugs. It is also necessary to have a scientific background for basic tasks, and to find out whether they are being deceived.

Forensic science (often shortened to forensics) is the application of a broad spectrum of sciences to answer questions of interest to the legal system. This may be in relation to a crime or to a civil action. The use of the term "forensics" in place of "forensic science" could be considered incorrect; the term "forensic" is effectively a synonym for "legal" or "related to courts" (from Latin, it means "before the forum"). However, it is now so closely associated with the scientific field that many dictionaries include the meaning that equates the word "forensics" with "forensic science."
