Day 1 at the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy

Day 1 at the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy. For the next 2 days I will provide 16 detectives the basics of Forensic Entomology. Activities like this are critical to establishing the relevance of museum work to our society. I will share museum specimens with the audience and we will collect new specimens from pig carcasses while we discuss how the insects apply to crime scene investigation and interpretation. Joe Keiper, Director VMNH.
