Deborah (Debbie) Dobrydney has been employed as a technician in the identification bureau (Crime Scene/Forensic Unit) of a municipal police department since 2002. She holds two undergraduate degrees — a B.S. in psychology and a B.A. in Spanish studies — from Fordham University in Bronx, N.Y.

She finds her degree in psychology to be especially useful in her line of work, as investigating interpersonal crime often requires a detailed personality analysis. Dobrydney recently graduated from the University of New Haven's Masters of Science program in national security and public safety with a 4.0 GPA.
