PHS now offers a new science elective to juniors and seniors: Forensics Science! A big thank you to Chief Matt Van Der Linden and Officer Ciaran Glynn for coming to class to talk about their jobs, as well as protocol and tools used for crime scene investigation. Chief Van Der Linden showed the students how to lift prints with a fingerprint powder, but explained that there are more modern practices that involve LED lights and dye stains. The students enjoyed a Q&A session with them and look forward to them coming back again!
