Albertus Magnus College Hosts 10th Annual Criminal Justice Camp
High School Juniors and Seniors Invited to Free One Day Camp
When students are asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” they often respond that they are interested in “CSI stuff” because it looks cool on TV. Real life criminal investigation techniques will be on display at the 10th Annual Criminal Justice Camp at Albertus Magnus College. This free, one-day camp is geared toward high school juniors and seniors who are interested in the Criminal Justice field. Topics of discussion include DNA testing, K-9 and Bomb Squad demonstrations, as well as educational opportunities in these fields.
“Albertus Magnus is committed to this camp because it provides students with a unique learning opportunity that exposes them to a wide variety of criminal justice career paths. It is also a collaborative effort that fosters positive police-community interactions and relationships,” said James T. Scott, assistant professor and faculty advisor who recently retired after 21 years of service with the Connecticut State Police.
