Did you ever want to know what it is like to solve a crime as a real crime scene investigator (CSI)? Well, now young people with an interest in crime scene investigations are invited to learn about the field from deputies this summer as the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Altadena Station Crime Scene Investigation Camp.
The 5-day day camp for kids 11 to 16 years of age is scheduled for 8 am to 12 pm, August 4 through August 8, in the Davies Building at Charles S. Farnsworth Park, 568 Mt. Curve Ave., Altadena. The cost is $75.
Participants will have hands-on involvement in a realistic crime scene investigation that might surprise them with how different it might be from the television shows. Participants will also be exposed to other Sheriff’s Department programs, such as the teen Explorer program.
Participants will learn investigative procedures and strategies at a simulated crime scene. 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 be on-scene to teach participants about evidence and obtaining arrest warrants.
Spots are limited and filling up fast. For more information, contact Deputy Scott Rule during regular business hours at (626) 798-2117, or email sarule@lasd.org.
