We do not have guns, we do not have DNA results in minutes (more like months) and the crimelite is NOT a UV light. Thats my major bug bare with Miami. Calley keeps calling her Crimelite a UV light. I have one it has noooooo UV light in it at all. If it's blue it's not UV. UV light denatures DNA with all the useage they wouldn't get their profiles. We do not interview suspects and we do not ahve a murder case ever week. We spend most of our days dealing with "volume crime" which is things like housebreakings and assault victim photographs. It looks good on the TV and on paper but in reality the job can be sooo boring. I should know been doing it for 3 years! We are always amongst the last on scene also to answer that question. The real CSI xx (from the UK) It goes down like this:

There are times when the CSI teams are the ones to lead the apprehension of a criminal, but I don't think that's how it's done in real life. I think they go in behind the regular police, perhaps even wait until they have got their suspect, then go in. But it makes for great TV. That's why they call it "suspension of disbelief..." ;-) Are there any real CSIs out there who can set us straight about this? If so, leave us a comment to tell us how it really goes down.
