Baltimore Forensics

This week, our summer interns had the opportunity to visit the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME)!

During their visit, our interns gained valuable insight into the role forensic science plays in death investigations and learned about the collaboration among forensic professionals across disciplines.

A special thank you to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for hosting our interns and sharing their expertise!

Inspiring the next generation of forensic scientists!🎓🔬

This week, Forensic Scientist II Kanieka Sisco of our Drug Analysis Unit returned to her former middle school, Colonel Richardson Middle School in Federalsburg, MD, for Career Day. She had the opportunity to share insights about the Drug Analysis Unit and introduce students to the many disciplines within forensic science.

We were also honored to participate in career events at Pine Grove Middle School and Deer Park Middle School, where students learned more about the fascinating world of forensic science and the important work performed by our laboratory.

Thank you to the schools for inviting us to engage with your students and share our passion for forensic science!

Our team hosted a group of graduating high school seniors for a 6-day crime lab shadow experience that allowed them to observe our scientists and participate in hands-on Forensic (4N6) activities!

In one of our activities, we stepped into the world of latent fingerprint processing. From applying powders and chemical reagents to carefully lifting prints with tape, students learned various methods for developing latent prints. We think it’s safe to say... some methods were a little messier than others 😂

Happy Forensic Friday! This week, we came together to celebrate and give our dearest partner and friend a proper send-off. Thank you for your years of dedication, laughter, and friendship. While we’re sad to see you go, we wish you nothing but success and happiness in this next chapter. You’ll be greatly missed, Richard Remy!

Last week, we were invited to Hereford Middle School for two days to share our careers with more than 150 eighth-grade students. We sparked the interest of many students who are now looking forward to participating in the opportunities we offer high school students next year.

This week we were invited to be a part of Bowie State University’s Career and Internship Fair! Always eager to share our knowledge and opportunities with future generations of potential Forensic Scientists!

Happy Monday and happy start to a new week!
