Students attending CSI@CSU will complete classroom lectures,participate in hands-on crime scene investigation; work in small groups and individually.

The program is taught by Charleston Southern University criminal justice professors, members of the Charleston and North Charleston Police CSI teams, Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester County Sheriff’s Dept., Mount Pleasant, and Summerville Police departments and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED).

“CSI@CSU is an opportunity for prospective students interested in crime scene investigation as a career to work hand in hand with today’s local crime scene techs,” said CSU professor Alan Fix.

As part of the program, the instructors will stage a mock crime scene with assistance from camp instructors and CSU criminal justice students.

“Students come in thinking TV and leave with a real-worldunderstanding of what crime scene investigation work really is,”added Fix. “I’m going to get them dirty. Crime scenes aren’t always done on sunny days. Students will see and smell a crime scene.”
