My Project
In the career of law enforcement, there are many avenues on which this line of work can lead an individual. Instead on a concentration of only policing, the use of science, mathematics, and investigations are key elements to capture suspects when they are no longer at a crime scene. We teachers use a variety of methods to teach students how to use other means of investigation which are project based to give the students the kinesthetic style of learning. With this equipment, this is only the beginning of many projects we can use to help educate our students.
