MILFORD — The students in the carpentry department at Eli Whitney Technical High School in Hamden teamed up with the Milford Police Department Crime Scene Identification Unit to build two tables for processing evidence.
The officers in Milford needed new tables. But after extensive research, detectives found that the majority of the commercial products were well over budget and did not fit all the needs of the unit. They would need to be a specific size, multi-functional and mobile. One of the detectives is a graduate of a technical high school and understood the educational benefits of a project like this one for students. Detectives reached out to local technical high schools and established a partnership with Eli Whitney Tech.
On Wednesday, June 17, after picking up the tables, the Detectives had a chance to meet and discuss the completed project with the students at the police department. The students and instructors were given a tour of the police building.
Nice teamwork!
