This year’s event includes fire
training as well
Just as in past years,
Northeastern Junior College’s Criminal Justice, Fire Science, and
Anthropology Departments will conduct an excavation exercise this week,
allowing students an opportunity to have some excellent hands-on training in
forensic recovery and crime scene investigation. This year, a fire science
training component has been added to the several day exercise. The
college invites interested community members to observe and participate in the
schedule of activities.
On Thursday, October
11th from 8:00 a.m. to 3 p.m., instructors and students will be doing
a crime scene investigation and the forensic excavation of an anonymously
donated deceased dog. In past years, the subject excavated has been a pig.
From 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. students will disarticulate the subject and prepare
the scene for processing. Processing will promptly follow the disarticulation.
Typically this will take no more than an hour.
On Sunday, October
14th beginning at 8 a.m., students from the Fire Academy at NJC will
undergo some wildland fire training as well as have some training in the
recovery of burned human (pig analogue) remains.
All of these activities will take
place on the farmland owned by Northeastern, located third fourth miles west of
town on County Road 32 just off County Road 39. There is limited parking
area. Spectators are encouraged to park away from the scene and walk to the
location of the activities, staying clear of the marked locations where crime
scene activity has been staged. For details and more location information please
