7th grade gifted and talented classes at Sacajawea Middle School have been working on a variety of forensic careers. This has even included each student's own hands as they had SRO Chris Smith join them to demonstrate how to pull up and identify fingerprints to become more aware of the occupation of Fingerprint Analysts.
They have already looked into Crime Scene Analysts, and will soon delve into Arson Analysts!
Career possibilities are so interesting!
