My name is Sean Clancy. I am a recently retired Captain of Detectives from the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office in NJ. I decided to bring together my science background and law enforcement experience, and create National CSI Camp, LLC. There is no other company that is using this type of business model to convey this type of subject matter to students.
The company’s goal is to provide unique training to mature minded junior high school and high school aged students by using current experienced law enforcement officers to teach the students modern and up-to-date investigative techniques that solve crimes.
The instructive model of Socratic Method of teaching was developed to impart knowledge to the students directly from the Detectives.Equally as important, as a retired police officer, I have watched the relationship between the community and the police become strained over many incidents that have drawn national coverage all too often, not holding the police in a good light. By bringing competent, personable and enthusiastic police detectives into teach high school aged kids, we are promoting and improving a positive bond and fostering a better relationship between the police and community.
We have repeat students take our classes (one student has taken our course 4 times) which speaks volumes about the program. All of the instructor enjoy teaching and interacting with the students. We hope your child will enjoy the class just as much as others and will always listen to input provided by the parents or student to better improve the program. Thanks for taking the time to visit our website.
