I have a job in land surveying and I've seen something on TV where a survey crew was surveying a crime scene. I would like to know if you any information on this type of career. Thank you for your time.

There is an article here which explains the basics of the devices you are asking about:
http://www.hitechcj.com/id191.html
You have at least three options. First, there are a number of companies that sell these devices; and, are at a minimum looking for people to sell, service, and run the devices. As an example:

Second, more and more these devices are being purchased and used by law enforcement agencies. The California Highway Patrol, as well as the Albuquerque Police department are examples of agencies that use the devices. You could apply there and become a crime scene technician.
Third, there are a number of companies that are beginning to offer these services to the govement for crime scenes, etc.
As an example,
GBG specializes in state of the art tools for NON DESTRUCTIVE STRUCTURAL INVESTIGATION. This complements my own background and experience in HIGH TECH MEASURED BUILDINGS SURVEYS, much of which was gained in my long career with the Getty Institute and English Heritage where I worked on many important historic buildings. BG is already well-established and well-regarded in the US. From the company’s New York office, GBG’s engineers have provided innovative solutions for the State Capitol, Falling Water and the Smithsonian as well as hundreds of New York City Public Schools.

| This article was good. There is allot of technology available to law enforcement. I have limited knowledge of what happens at a crime scene. Contamination is one of the biggest problems for example picking up fibers or evidence. These simple things help detectives recreate the crime scene. Officers have to realize that these things need not to be touched until there is a chain of command.
