ALTADENA SHERIFF STATION'S CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATORS
CAMP FOR TEENS~June 9 through June 13th, 8:00Am - 12:00Pm
There is still time to sign up!!!
Did you ever want to know what's like to solve a crime as a real crime
scene investigator (CSI)? Well now young people with an interest in crime
scenen investigations are invited to learn about the field from deputies
this summer as the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Altadena Station hosts a
kids’ Crime Scene Investigation Camp.
The 5-day day camp for kids 11 to 14 years of age is scheduled for 8 a.m.
to 12 p.m. June 9 through June 13 in the Davies Building at Charles S.
Farnsworth Park, 568 Mt. Curve Ave. in Altadena, organizers said. The
cost is $75.
“Participants will have an opportunity to have hands-on involvement in a
realistic crime scene investigation that might surprise them on how
different it might be from the television shows,” Captain John Benedict
said. “We also hope the exposure might develop an interest in our teen
Explorer program or a career in law enforcement.”
Campers will learn investigative procedures and strategies at a simulated
crime scene, officials said. They will examine fingerprints, question
witnesses and work with polygraph tests under the supervision of station
deputies.
Los Angeles County District Attorney’s officials will teach campers about
evidence and obtaining arrest warrants, Benedict said, and they will
ultimately arrest and book their “suspect” on the final day of camp.
Spots are limited and filling up fast, Benedict said. “Many parents have
already requested that we do a second camp session due to vacations , and
we will offer one later this summer if there is continued interest.”
