Jonathan Forte, a student in Investigation of Death, and Angela Salvatore, a student in Crime Scene Investigation, practice processing a crime scene.

 CANTON -- SUNY Canton criminal investigation students practiced discovering and processing staged crime scenes recently.

Faculty members stage scenarios with mannequins so students can practice photographing, collecting and processing evidence in a life-like situation.

Typically, the investigations happen during the fall semester on the college’s campus bordering the Grasse River.
