Criminal Justice students at Knox County Career Center took part in a simulated assault scenario designed to put their training to the test! (Note: Weapons used in this scenario were not real.)
Students responded to a dispatched call, practiced safely clearing a building, communicated with dispatch and each other, and located a victim in need of help. They had to make critical decisions, gather information, calm the victim, and determine when to provide aid while ensuring the building was secure.
Once the scene was cleared, students worked to move the victim to emergency medical personnel before returning to complete their reports.
This hands-on scenario is part of a multi-phase learning experience that teaches students how to investigate a crime from the initial response all the way through court proceedings.
Students in Criminal Justice obtain training in the laws of arrest, search & seizure, cuffing, and self-defense.
