Is it possible to be a police officer and a CSI at the same time?

This may vary from agency to agency. Most are sworn personnel. Some actually did work the road at some point in their career. Do all carry weapons? No. Do they do interviews of suspects and witnesses, usually not. Some are hired right out of college and never do "patrol duties". This is becoming more common and the job has become more specialized with increased training. Most of what you see on television is a composite of several people, the forensics expert, blood expert, fingerprint expert, DNA expert, handwriting expert, medical examiner, photographer, evidence collection, the detective,.......well the list goes on. No one person does all you see.

What are the places that a CSI can work?

Almost every large municipality, county, or state will have a forensic unit. However, unlike on TV, most of these individuals are sworn police officers who have been trained in that specialty. So, you must become a police officer first. There ARE exceptions to this - some agencies DO employ civilian technicians who work in the field but this is the exception rather than the norm, and they customarily perform mostly lab work.
