The students from Assistant Chief Bradbury's Criminal Justice class have been working on latent fingerprint development. They have processed many different prints on many different surfaces. They have used traditional fingerprint powders, magnetic powders, and florescent powders. They have even used chemical methods to develop prints. In some of these photos, the students were able to use a chemical process to pull duct tape from paper, and then use a chemical agent to recover latent prints from the sticky side of the tape.

Mrs. Kathy Moore put together an amazing 8th Grade Reality store for our students. Students get an up-close-and-personal look at trying to make ends meet with the careers and lifestyles they have chosen to explore.  It is eye opening for them that so many things they take for granted actually cost money!  It was a great experience! Thank you Mrs. Kathy Moore.
