As part of the forum, a mock crime scene will be created to allow participants to walk through and familiarize themselves with the process both police and victims play in the investigative process. WSU police officers will be on hand to answer questions.
WSU Police Advisory Board Chair Kim Barrett said this workshop should be of interest to students, faculty and staff because everyone has the potential to be impacted by crime at any point in time. “We would like to empower people with accurate knowledge about investigative procedures after they have become victims of crime,” said Barrett. “It’s very different from what TV shows portray.”
The Oct. 13 event is the second in a series of Face to Face Forums organized by the WSU Police Advisory Board. The fall semester series concludes on Nov. 10 with a forum that examines the work of drug dogs.
