On March 19th Forensics students met with Detective Guida, Detective Mellekas and an intern from the CT State Police Major Crime Squad. The purpose of their visit was to show the students the parallels between what they are learning in class and what techniques are currently being used in the real world.

The presentation was interactive - with the presenters often asking the near-eighty students to explain what they could determine from photographs ranging from burned-out cars and dusty footprints to blood spattered walls and dead victims.

The students were impressed with the presentation as well as themselves: "I didn't realize how much I actually learned about Forensics in class until this presentation." and, "Those guys made me want to join the State Police." were a couple of comments overheard as the students exited the cafeteria. The staff of Prince Tech would like to thank the State Police Major Crime Squad for offering this presentation to our students.
