For years, I watched talented graduates struggle. They were smart, passionate, and ready to work. But when they applied for crime scene investigator positions, they kept hearing the same frustrating response:
"You don’t have enough field experience."
Traditional academic programs weren’t preparing students for the realities of the job — the technical demands, the emotional challenges, and the confidence to perform under pressure.
I wanted to change that.
So, I created a training program that goes beyond theory. I built a space where students learn what the job requires and practice those skills in hands-on, realistic settings.
