Detective Crusemire and Sergeant Hazelett were excited to share their forensic knowledge with Cub Scout Pack 169 this previous Sunday. Det. Crusemire and Sgt. Hazelett reviewed how they conduct their investigations, showed the Cub Scouts their protective gear as well as their evidence processing tools and equipment. They provided the Cub Scouts with a scenario that there was a burglary that happened in the Township Building the night before.

The Cub Scouts were engaged in learning how to dust fingerprints, make a mold of a footprint, secure a crime scene, and learned other investigative techniques. Based on their learning, the scouts secured the crime scene, photographed the scene, and recovered and processed evidence. Based on the evidence they processed; the Scouts were able to develop a lead and identify the suspect. Using one of our newly acquired drones, the scouts observed on a screen as Detective Crusemire piloted the drone through the building, room by room, until they finally located and apprehend the suspect - a cardboard cutout of a person.
