Since 2012, the Freedom District Lions Club has teamed with the Sykesville Police Dept to fund an annual “Jr. CSI” camp for local middle school students. At the camp, 35 students bond with local law enforcement personnel as they learn the basics about crime scene investigations, evidence collection, observation and interview techniques. The final day of the camp, the students get to practice on an improvised crime scene and report to the Chief of Police their findings. It is held each Fall at Sykesville Middle School.
