🔍 Criminal Justice I students Johanna M., Bella R., and Autumn P. put their skills to the test by reconstructing a crime scene! They explored each step of the crime scene processing process—from first responder protocol and witness interviews to documenting the scene with photos and sketches, measuring evidence, and ensuring proper collection. This hands-on activity emphasized how a systematic approach preserves the integrity of a crime scene and plays a critical role in the courtroom. ⚖️
