Local middle and high school students spent a week at
Michigan State University (MSU) learning crime scene investigation techniques from police and FBI agents.
According to excerpts from the article:
The
program—run by the
Office of Gifted and Talented Education, part of MSU's
Honors College—ended Friday.
To
participate, students needed at least a 3.5 grade-point average, strong
test scores and a teacher recommendation. The weeklong overnight camp
cost $1,127. Scholarships were available.
During Friday's lesson, forensic artists from the FBI and
Michigan State Police discussed how to interview witnesses to create composite
sketches of suspects.
Other camp activities included identifying
characteristics of skeletons, observing a pig autopsy, fingerprinting,
matching tire and shoe impressions, and analyzing a mock crime scene
using evidence such as blood spatters and bullets.
