A CSI Open House will be held on the Lawrence campus.

Do you binge watch CSI shows? Do you think you would make a good crime scene investigator? Come and test your skills during Northern Essex Community College’s first Crime Scene Open House on Saturday, April 30, from 9 a.m. until noon in room E 252 on the Haverhill campus.

Northern Essex forensic science professor Mike Cross and criminal investigation professor Paul Cavan will guide participants from a staged crime scene through the various forensic stations including fingerprinting, fiber and blood evidence, crime scene photography, and suspect interviews. Participants may end their crime scene investigation with a presentation of their findings.

Work your way through crime scene forensic stations.

This open house is designed for high school students and their families as well as others interested in exploring a career in criminal justice at NECC.

The content of the open house is family-friendly.
