Law enforcement officials from across the state are gathering this week in Emporia to get some hands-on forensics and crime scene investigationtraining.

Instructors Doug Young, a criminalist from Colorado and Curt Clark, a crime scene investigator from Kentucky are teaching the classthrough private company Sirchie,which provides the training to law enforcement agenciesacross the country. Youngexplains what they'll cover in the three-day class which runs through Thursday.

The job of forensic scientists is much like putting together a puzzle then being able to present their findings to a jury. Detective Sgt. Jacob Welsh with the Lyon County Sheriff's Office says a big part of that is protecting the integrity of the crime scene.

There are 36 members of law enforcement attending the class this week.Young says that's been the largest class the North Carolina based company has provided on the road.
