People looking to delve into the criminal justice field have a new program available at Lake Land College.

The school will be offering a new Crime Scene Technician program starting in the fall.

Once completed, you'll get a one-year certificate and can stack that with other Criminal Justice programs.

Lake Land College says crime scene technicians are in high demand with a 14% national growth.

The program will offer students hands-on training such as blood splatter analysis, bullet trajectory analysis, crime scene investigation, crime scene photography, evidence gathering and evidence processing.

If interested, you're encouraged to apply by August 19 for the fall semester.
