CSI House

The campus developed a Crime Scene Investigation House to provide a state-of-the-art educational experience for students by utilizing some of the most advanced criminal forensics equipment in the country. Equipped with close circuit audio and video cameras, professors can monitor the entire training facility, providing live feedback as students process a variety of mock crime scenes, designed to challenge the most advanced criminal investigator. The CSI House will provide students a hands-on opportunity to learn the following:

  • Secure, process & manage a variety of criminal investigations, including burglaries, robberies, sexual assaults, drug trafficking and homicides
  • Determine probable cause at a crime scene
  • Write and obtain search warrants
  • Locate and lift latent fingerprints
  • Learn forensic photography
  • Document evidence and apply the chain of custody
  • Compare hair and fiber samples
  • Cast tire and footprint impressions
  • Write police investigative reports and learn interviewing techniques
