RANDOLPH TOWNSHIP, NJ (Morris County) – A bomb squad, K-9 operation, crime scene units, and more will be on display at County College of Morris (CCM), along with a helicopter landing, during Criminal Justice Day when public safety and law enforcement agencies bring their specialties to campus.

Open to high school and college students, Criminal Justice Day will feature demonstrations and presentations explaining the role of different units in the criminal justice system.
