On Monday morning Senior constable Gavin Cross and Detective constable Kate Hyde came into the hall to talk to TK house about Forensics. There were a lot of diffident parts that Senior constable Gavin Cross and Detective constable Kate Hyde talked to us about, like how they can put powder on a surface that you would you can see or think there would be finger prints and then send it to wellington to see if the finger print patterns match any other patterns that they could have recorded. The part of Senior constable Gavin Cross and Detective constable Kate Hyde visit that most surprised me was when they showed us that, if u think the criminal cleaned up blood you can put aluminum on the surface and it can show if there was blood there or not. I learnt lots about the forensic teams in New Zealand and it was really fun listening and learning about Senior constable Gavin Cross and Detective constable Kate Hyde job any many more police men and women.
Yesterday after lunch all the TK houses went to different classes to learn about forensics. Room 13 went to room 15 with miss Elmore and learnt about how the police get and collect offender finger print and lip pattern. The way we record our finger prints was to shade really really dark on a bit of paper then rub your finger of the shaded part of the paper and the stick a bit of seller tape the your finger then stick it to a white peace of paper and it should show you what type of finger print you have.
