Paul Cavan, coordinator of NECC\u2019s Criminal Justice Program<\/p><\/div>\n

Paul Cavan, coordinator of Northern Essex Community College\u2019s Criminal\u00a0Justice Program, will give a presentation titled \u201cThe Real CSI\u201d at the Reuben Hoar Library, 41 Shattuck Str., Littleton, MA on Wednesday, May 7 at 7:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

Free and open to the public, this presentation will be of interest to those considering a career in criminal justice as well as fans of television shows such as \u201cCSI.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of these shows portray assessing crime scenes as relatively simple when in reality it is not,\u201d says Cavan.<\/p>\n

Cavan\u2019s presentation will explore the \u201cdo\u2019s and don\u2019ts\u201d of evidence collecting and processing. He will also review famous American murders, such as those of Nicole Simpson and Marilyn Sheppard, to find out what happens when evidence is not processed properly.<\/p>\n

Cavan has 26 years of experience with the Farmington Hills (Michigan) Police Department, having served as patrol officer, in the investigative and crime prevention units, and as a Detroit evidence technician for the Michigan State Police Narcotics Unit. He has both a bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees in criminal justice from Michigan State University.<\/p>\n

NECC offers a Criminal Justice Associate of Science<\/a> degree as well as a certificate program in Law Enforcement.<\/a><\/p>\n
