I am currently in a Criminal Justice program. Its a Bachelor of Science: Criminal Justice-Forensic Investigations. Now the job I want to be able to pursue is a crime lab technician. I know that I need 4 years of either chemistry or biology (depending on which area I want to be in such dna, etc) Will the 4 years of science on top of the criminal justice degree be enough to be accepted for an internship or as a job as a crime lab tech?

This will probably depend on the requirements of particular labs. Why not find some in your area (your state bureau of investigation, for instance, or maybe the local police department)? They should be able to tell you about their own policy on that.
Also, if you want to stay in the same area/school, you may well wind up doing your internship there. It never hurts to let people know that you're interested, and they may know of interesting opportunities that don't require the whole 4 year science degree.
