HELP US SOLVE A MYSTERY

Once evidence has been identified and collected, learn how it is securely physically preserved if called in as evidence. 

Become informed at what to focus on when trying to solve a mystery. Finger prints and DNA are very important when solving a crime, therefore learning how to examine them is very important. 

Ever watch CSI? Play the part of a scene investigator by learning the ins and outs of handling evidence. 

Become informed on different ways in which experts determine what makes up a crime scene as well as how it is preserved.
