Cindy Hyde-Smith visited Meridian Community College to get a closer look at specialized forensic training taking place at the MCC-Riley Workforce Development Center.\n\nDuring the visit, Sen. Hyde-Smith toured the classroom used by RSA Forensics and learned more about the company\u2019s partnership with MCC. The Collinsville-based company provides forensic science training to law enforcement and other professionals from across the country and around the world.\n\nThe partnership allows RSA Forensics to use MCC\u2019s Workforce Development facilities for its International Forensic Training Academies. Students receive focused classroom training in multiple areas of forensic examination at MCC, while some hands-on evidence processing takes place at the company\u2019s laboratory in Collinsville.\n\nSen. Hyde-Smith\u2019s visit allowed her to see the training environment firsthand and learn how the partnership brings specialized training to Meridian.\n\nFor MCC, partnerships like the one with RSA Forensics are an important part of the College\u2019s workforce mission. By working with businesses and industry partners, MCC can provide facilities and support for training that meets real workforce needs.\n\nThe partnership also brings professionals from outside the area to Meridian for extended training while giving them access to MCC\u2019s classrooms, computer labs and other Workforce Development resources.", 1, "2026-09-10T09:25:58Z", "2026-09-10T09:27:09Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.hydesmith.senate.gov/hyde-smith-visits-mcc-forensic-training-program"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7728200871497393, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
