The third annual criminal justice camp sponsored by the Glenville State College Criminal Justice Program will be held July 20-July 24, 2009. Students accepted to attend the criminal justice camp will have the opportunity to experience hands-on investigations of a mock crime as well as participate in a mock trial. In processing the mock crime scene students will learn to fingerprint, use chemical enhancement for trace evidence, casting/molding, photography, interviewing suspects, collecting evidence, and ballistics testing.

Camp organizers will accept a total of fifty high school sophomores, juniors and seniors to participate in this summer camp. The week-long camp is funded by a Department of Justice Grant and is free to participants, who need only to provide their transportation to and from Glenville State College. Students interested in being considered for the criminal justice camp need to complete an application by June 1, 2009. An application can be found online by visiting www.glenville.edu, and clicking on Criminal Justice Site on the Social Science Department page.
