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.
