By UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of the Delta Tau Omega chapter of the American Criminal Justice Association\/Lambda Alpha Epsilon (ACJA\/LAE) traveled to Warrensburg, Missouri, this fall to compete in the Region 3 Conference. With its 21 members, the FHSU\u2019s team was the largest Criminal Justice Club group to travel to a regional or national conference. In addition, team members brought home more awards than had been received at any previous competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis speaks highly of the criminal justice majors and minors who take their participation in this organization and their education seriously,\u201d said Dr. Tamara Lynn, associate professor of criminal justice. \u201cWe look forward to the ongoing success of all members of the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The club competed against chapters from Garden City Community College, Metro Community College (Nebraska), Peru State University (Nebraska), University of Central Missouri, Central Methodist University (Missouri), and California State University, Long Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Club members competed in written exams, including corrections, criminal law, juvenile justice, police administration, and ACJA\/LAE Knowledge about the organization. Students also competed in skills-based contests, including crime scene teams, firearms (individual and teams), and physical agility.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final competition included scholarly poster presentations.  Written exams, crime scene processing, and firearms competition levels included lower (freshmen and sophomores), upper (juniors, seniors, and graduate students), and professional.  The physical agility competition, separated by age, male, and female, included 18 \u2013 25, 26 \u2013 35, and 36 + years of age.  The poster presentations were divided into lower, upper, and graduate levels.  Individual award winners, according to the level of competition, from this year\u2019s conference include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
