Both Forensic Law classes had a Crime Scene Investigator come in and talk with them.  They were able to see actual tools used in crime scene investigations, dust for shoeprints during the presentation as well as ask questions. 

The Forensic Law class was able to go on a tour of the TGK Correctional Center.  We were able to see all area's of the jail including the booking area, the juvenile detention area, high risk inmates area as well as the operations control room.  It was a great trip that allowed the students to see first hand how the correctional system works.
