Emphasis will be placed on understanding the motives for arson and different causes of arson. Students will learn proper techniques of preserving criminal evidence and its use in court. A large portion of the second half of the course will focus on preparation for a court case. Surveillance, interviews, and interrogation are procedures that will be examined. The course will end with a mock trial.
Students are able to integrate classroom learning with on-the job experience.
Once students have obtained jobs, they may work through a faculty coordinator who will establish meaningful learning objectives. These objectives will be tailored to support the student's selected curriculum.
