In my second-year placement with the Forensic Investigation

Unit of the Mount Forest police force, I got to process a ton of

evidence from break and enters, firearm evidence and video

evidence from a drunk driver charge, and participated in a

penetrating radar test on a missing persons case. And I had

access to old and cold-case files.
