Detective For A Day
The Cold Case Unit of the MX-5 Criminologist Department has been reformed to review the August 25 2019 investigation of alleged skullduggery in the Illawarra....
MX5 members who join this renewed challenge will test their cryptic clue abilities, cartographic navigation skills, digital photographic aptitudes and eagle eye abilities.
MX-5 Club members who participate, will be anointed as trainee ‘Detectives for a Day’ and will be issued with a set of clues pointing them to various locations where forensic evaluations of each site will be necessary to gather and record evidence vital to the successful completion of your trainee ship.
In order to participate on this day you will need to demonstrate:
- Organisational skills for packing a picnic morning tea.
- Ability to take digital photos – (and later show the evidence at final debriefing) A phone will do or digital camera.
- Ability to use your car’s navigation system, or google maps on your phone or read a map.
- Acute observation and recording skills.
You will be asked to travel to identify and record information from different alleged crime scenes and report your findings at a final lunch time meeting spot, where your evaluations will be analysed by fellow trainees and a score allocated to assess your worthiness to be crowned ‘Gumshoe of the Year.’
Our final meeting point for lunch will probably be north of Wollongong, which may encourage Sydney member participation. Lunch is reasonably priced.
