Students in the PHS Criminal Justice III program processed a mock crime scene as part of their hands-on training. During this activity, they practice securing the scene, documenting evidence, taking photographs, and collecting items using proper forensic techniques. These exercises help students understand the importance of detail, accuracy, and chain of custody in real-world investigations, preparing them with both knowledge and practical skills for careers in law enforcement and forensic science.
HHS Criminal Justice III Forensic Investigation students are practicing their search patterns while having to manage keeping a secure crime scene. Students were required to collect 100 colored poker chips while conducting a proper search pattern and maintaining security while annoying bystanders (HHS Teachers) would distract and attempt to illegally enter each crime scene.
It's exciting to see programs across the district practicing these skills!
