High school students discovered what it’s like to be part of law enforcement at the “8th Annual Criminal Justice Camp”.

Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, Connecticut, sponsored their annual Criminal Justice Camp again this year, and the Eastern Vintage Police Car Association was proud to participate. “It’s a lot of fun” said Ted Stockmon, one of the E.V.P.C.A. members. “It’s great to talk with these students and experience their enthusiasm and eagerness when talking about their future in law enforcement. ”The camp is designed to give students an overview of the various and diverse opportunities available to a graduate of the college’s criminal justice program. The program helps to motivate students to pursue higher degrees in the law enforcement field. “Law Enforcement isn’t like you see on TV” explained one student. Crimes don’t get solved in a half hour. We are learning that there is a system that we have to follow in order to come up with the right result and solve the crime” At this year’s event, Albertus hosted 109 high school juniors and seniors from Connecticut, Massachusetts, Delaware, and New York. The students were encouraged to rotate through the various stations set up by local and state law enforcement departments, federal agencies, and various branches of the military to discuss the many aspects of the law enforcement field.
