In the Lab...
Protective Services students employ a variety of forensic methods to catch the murderer |
In this case, we utilized fingerprint comparison, blood typing, fiber and hair examination, and handwriting analysis. |
| Two of the lab examinations for this case required the use of our computerized microscope | ![]() |
The microscope enables us to take a close look at evidence, and compare one piece with another, in such a way that the whole class can see it. |
