Recently, BKW junior Alissa Duncan joined regional high school students in the Criminal Justice program at the Capital Region BOCES Career and Technical Education Center to “dust up” on their criminal justice knowledge – literally. Students in Darin Jones’ program on the Schoharie Campus practiced an integral part of crime solving this week – dusting for and collecting fingerprints.
The skill is one of dozens taught during the two-year program offered on the Schoharie and Albany campuses. The approximately 100 students enrolled in it each year learn about the history, theory, practices, and recent developments in the field of criminal justice. They also learn hands-on skills such as fingerprint collection, radio use, arresting and handcuffing, and dealing with safety hazards and emergency situations.
