Activities

Behind the Badge: Station Tour

Students walk through a working police station, exploring the different roles, departments, and daily responsibilities that keep it running. From dispatch to holding cells to the evidence room, they see how many different jobs come together to serve a community.

Scene of the Crime: Mall Theft Investigation

Students respond to a theft at a shopping mall, working the scene to identify, collect, and document physical evidence and witness statements. They apply careful observation and reasoning to piece together what happened and begin building a case around a suspect.

Case Closed: Building the Court Package

Students organize the evidence they've gathered into a formal court package, structuring it the way a real investigator would for a prosecutor. They learn how raw evidence becomes a coherent, persuasive case, and why accuracy and completeness matter when someone's guilt or innocence is on the line.
