Brian’s Answer

Noah,

If you want to do crime lab-type things, stick with physical/forensic sciences. If you don't see yourself sticking to that and want some latitude, consider computer science. A significant amount of complex criminal investigations now involve data; extraction, analysis, presentation, etc. The FBI, specifically, is highly competitive for entry. One of my co-workers worked five years at our Sheriff's Office and then was finally hired. Make sure you're checking out their recruiting site, and it wouldn't hurt to call your local field office to see if someone would spare a half an hour to talk to you. They might appreciate the chance to get out of the office.

Brian recommends the following next steps:
