SCHOHARIE – Juniors in the Criminal Justice program at the Capital Region BOCES Career and Technical Education Center recently dusted up on their criminal justice knowledge – literally.
Students in Darin Jones’ program on the Schoharie Campus practiced this week an integral part of crime solving – dusting for, and collecting, fingerprints.
The skill is one of dozens taught during the two-year program that is offered on the Schoharie and Albany campuses. The approximately 100 students enrolled in it each year learn about the history, theory, practices and recent developments in the field of criminal justice, as well as hands-on skills such as fingerprint collection, radio use, arresting and handcuffing and dealing with safety hazards and emergency situations.
“I chose the Criminal Justice program because I want to make a difference in the world, I am still deciding what I want to do in law enforcement, but I know it is for me,” said McCallus, who attends the program from Voorheesville.
Classmate Logan Tessier said he is interested in the problem-solving aspects of the industry.
“I want to be a private investigator. I like the idea of solving mysteries and helping people,” the Sharon Springs student said.
