Forensic Training Ground (Classroom 218 "B")
Classroom 218 "B" of the Department of Criminal Law Disciplines is a unique training ground designed in the style of a "Living Room" to conduct practical exercises based on simulating investigative actions. This forensic training ground is an integral part of the educational process, providing students with the opportunity to practice crime investigation methods in conditions closely resembling real-life investigative scenarios.
The training ground is equipped with various educational materials, visual and practical resources, as well as video materials. These serve not only as theoretical content but also allow students to immerse themselves in real investigative scenarios. This approach not only teaches students the theory but also helps them develop practical skills in conditions closely resembling those in real investigative and judicial processes.
Modeling investigative actions in such a specialized educational complex allows students not only to consolidate knowledge, but also to improve the tactical and technical skills necessary for working in law enforcement agencies.
