Tonight, The Criminal Justice Club was fortunate to have Officer Lieberman from the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department and Officer Anderson from the Fairmont Police Department come speak to the club about their experiences. Officer Lieberman is a former club member, and both officers are graduates of the MNSU Law Enforcement Program.

Both officers answered questions about being a police officer, going to school at MNSU and transitioning to careers in Law Enforcement. Thank you to both officers for being willing to come and speak to us and answer questions!

The Criminal Justice Club recently did our forensics lab. Students learned how to fingerprint another person.

Students also got to experience multiple ways to dust for prints, using magnetic powder on a flat surface, as well as dusting for prints on a glass.

Our next meeting is Monday the 3rd of February, in Morris 210. We will be having alumni to discuss the future after graduation! Open to all. See you there!
