Crime Scene Investigation Competition
The Crime Scene Investigation competition is designed to test preliminary investigative skills in a situation which requires an eye for detail, thorough notes, and a diligent investigative mindset.
Hotel rooms are generally used for this event, acting as a site where a simulated crime has occurred. Participants will compete in three-member teams. Teams may consist of individuals from more than one chapter. Teams will be sent to the scene of the crime in their pre-registered time slot. Each team will have a maximum of fifteen 15 minutes to complete their on-scene investigation. The team will then go into a controlled environment to prepare their written report for no longer than 45 minutes. Teams will be judged on their narrative report, evidence log, crime scene map, and other factors. |

ACADEMIC RESEARCH POSTERS
(NEW) The newest addition to the ACJA-LAE National Conference is an Academic Research Poster display, alongside our career fair.
This event offers an unprecedented opportunity to conduct research in an area of interest and publish your findings. Display your poster at our National Conference and network with professionals, students, recruiters, and advisors with shared interests. Details:
