Plenty of gore, no glamour
CSI: Manitoba more realistic
By NATALIE PONA, STAFF REPORTER
It's CSI Manitoba -- minus the short skirts. The province has its own Gil Grissom and Horatio Caine: the RCMP's crime scene specialists and blood spatter experts.
They scour murders scenes and break-ins for a traces of the bad guys -- without flashing any cleavage from under their white protective suits.
"CSI is there to entertain. There's a lot of truth in some of the methods they use but they certainly don't show the long, tedious hours it takes to get results," said RCMP Sgt. Bruce Prange, a bloodstain pattern analyst for Winnipeg-based Regional Forensic Identification Support Section.
The popular CBS television series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation has boosted the profile of specialists, said Sgt. Jake Hiebert, in charge of the Winnipeg RCMP Forensic Identification section.
"That's the nice part about CSI," he said.
The show's writers obviously consult with a specialist, Hiebert said, on most details.
