The Pentagon:
1. The most positive thing that has happened thus far because of my senior project has just been my insight into the criminal justice field. I have gotten to see how criminal investigation really works as opposed to what we are shown by the media. I also have an understanding of how extensive an investigation is. From the responding officer to the DA who prosecutes, many people are involved.
2. My interview helped me better understand my topic because he told me what I might want to major in later to help me do better in this field as well as narrow down what profession i really want in the investigative process.
3. What has worked for me best in my project is the amount of people willing to answer questions I have about this field. Many police stations have community outreach so that they can keep the public informed of them. Almost everyone I have talked to in this field has been very open about wanting to inform me about what it is they do.
4. The thing that hasn't worked so well is the volunteer hours because many officers are reluctant to let volunteers get too close to real police work because of the dangers.
5. By the end of senior year I hope to know exactly what profession in the Criminal Investigation I want to pursue. Since so many are involved in each investigation, i would like to know exactly which step in the investigation I want to be a part of. I would like to talk to the District Attorneys that work with the police departments so that I can follow the legal side of the investigative process. I want to know what mindset I would have to obtain to be a successful criminal investigator.
a) What should I keep in mind while investigating?
b) How to I show all of the different skills needed to solve an investigation?
c) Which step of the investigation process should I focus the most on?
