Today two of the Forensic detectives (Kate and Gavin) came to talk to Nepia about Forensic Science. They started by talking us through what it was and how it can help the detectives.
They started off by telling us about the glass breaking and the tools the criminals used to break it and they also talked about the swab which was used for saliva and DNA.
Next they told us about blood splats and different ways blood can be seen, For example the luminol lighting which is used to see blood stains that you can't see. They first sprinkle the luminol on the floor or object and turn the lights off to show the blood.
They then talked about firearms and the trajectory of bullets.
Overall I thought they did a great job and I learn't so much about Forensic Science and how it is used.
