Hull, Iowa — Some students at Boyden/Hull High School are learning about forensics. And recently, they had a chance, with the help of the Sioux County Sheriff’s Office to get an idea about how real crime scenes are investigated, through some hands-on interaction.
Sioux County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Officer Waylon Pollema tells us about it.
He tells us that he and Mr. Zevenbergen decided what to do.
Pollema says that through their investigation, students learned how to use evidence collection, fingerprint analysis, suspect interviews and collaboration to determine a suspect who they believed had committed the crime. He says students were also educated on the importance of photography, documentation and report writing methods law enforcement uses in these types of investigations.
