Rose Pogatshnik,
Rasmussen
College – St. Cloud Criminal Justice Instructor, has organized a tour of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension in
St. Paul, MN . Students will experience “real life” CSI (and it’s NOTHING like the television show)! The BCA is responsible for forensic analysis including DNA, major crime scene, drug chemistry, firearms, latent prints, toxicology and trace evidence. The BCA also manages the Criminal Justice Information Systems (CJIS), Crime Alert Network and CRIMNET. The BCA is also home to one of the most amazing stained glass art pieces, called the “Exquisite Corpse”. More information about each of these divisions is available on their website, http://www.dps.state.mn.us/bca/bca.html..
The tour is scheduled for Thursday, September 4th, 2008 at 10:00am. Space is limited so contact Rose at rose.pogatshnik@rasmussen.edu by August 20th 2008 to reserve your spot. You must be currently enrolled in or successfully completed the class Policing in America to attend. Transportation will be the responsibility of the student, carpooling is encouraged!
Please email Rose with any questions you may have!
