I’m applying for the Indiana State Police internship solely because I want to learn more about policing and get a realistic feel about my possible future career. I’m currently studying Criminal Justice at the University of Southern Indiana and I’m also a Volunteer Firefighter at Perry Township Fire Dept. With me currently being a junior in college, I feel that I should know which career path I’m going towards. I’m stuck between wanting to be a Police Officer and wanting to be a career Firefighter. I’ve done two ride alongs within the past two years. One with a Vanderburgh County Sheriff and another with a city officer in Jasper, Indiana. Those ride alongs were somewhat helpful but I’m wanting to gain more experience than just 10 hours in a patrol car. I want to learn all the in’s and out’s including what happens in the office, dispatch, and

Before Ms. Antoinette Frank joined the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) she had a rough childhood. Ms. Frank came from a dysfunction family; her brother was a fugitive and her father was in and out of her life. Ms. Frank childhood dream was to become a police officer. In the year of 1993 Ms. Frank applied for the New Orleans Police Department during the hiring process, she had several major red flags during her process.

As a civil servant of the city of New York, I am pleased to have the responsibility to serve the public.

I have written formal bail reports from a handwritten report, filled out forms for illegal immigrants, open files into their program (PACTS) and follow up with defendant’s third party custodian to check if they have any problems or changes to report to the court. I have also learned that I am afraid of public speaking. I believe this internship will help me overcome it before it is over. To be in a Law Enforcement position, we have to have confidence and good oral skills to communicate with others. I definitely recommend this internship for Criminal Justice students who are interested to learn about the federal system and would like to get good connection for the future. I have expressed my interest to continue working with them after the internship is over. I believe students should know more about the Pretrial Services, and what it

As the internship program and the training intended, I have learned much related to my major, Criminal Justice. This internship helped me to acknowledge that qualified, knowledgeable professionals are needed by our complex society to define, administer, and put our rules and standards into force. Like jobs in any other field, to work in the field of law requires expertise. Trained experts are the most desirable to be hired by organizations, tasked to manage justice, to direct their operations. By writing articles for the legal website, I learned to assess law enforcement situations orderly. I learned to make use of the basic legal and management theories to analyze the situations. I got the opportunity to show my understanding of the key process in the U.S. criminal justice system. I also learned to combine approaches from management, law, and the behavioral science to apply them to the situations I was studying.

The specific department I have chosen to research for potential employment is the New Hampshire State Police. The primary mission of the State Police is to patrol the state’s highways, enforce the laws and regulations of the highways and motor vehicles, and regulations for the transportation of hazardous materials.

The area covered includes each of the state's ten counties, with each Troop responsible for one or two. Additionally, there is a seventh department, Troop G, that has the role of enforcing the laws governing the operation of school buses and commercial vehicles and the operation of car dealerships and vehicle inspection stations.

As of January 24, 2017, of my spring semester at Saint Peters University, I began my internship with the Jersey City Police Department(JCPD).

The JCPD rely solely on four principles: Courtesy, Accountability, Respect and Excellence. Each of these principles are imbedded in ensuring a level fairness and equality throughout the community. Indeed, this level of partnership has driven

Minocqua has roughly 5,000 people living year round. To me, that is a perfect number. I appreciate the smaller communities because it gives me an improved chance of getting to interact with everyone. My main goal is to become a K-9 handler with the DNR department, but I want to start out working as a police officer. The department administration has 24 people working for them all together.

Their mission statement is the following: The Minocqua Police Department will enhance the quality of life in the community through our service to the public, protection of persons and property,

Numerous police agency’s and police officials work on a distinctive local, state, and federal level and role. It has its individual area, sectors, and function, and work according to local streets parts inside policing.

There had to a summary what had happened, the information from the detainee, and the affidavit report that goes to the judge. During this day I was also able to see what the procedures that the jailers have to follow are. First they get all of your information and your finger prints, and then they search you for anything that is not allowed after they confiscate everything that you had and they put them in a vacuum sealed package that is place in a secure place after that they give the detainees there jail apparel and take their picture.

My while the whole internship itself was very enjoyable and I learned a lot from it. I think I learned the most from my weekly meeting with Officer Tolosa.

He critiqued my resume and cover letter so that I would have a decent chance of getting at least one interview. He was also helped me meet more of the brass because they are only around during

I plan on become a fire fighter and with some type of city job will help me understand how things are done in and out. This is the closest type of city work to a firefighter there is. The only reason I didn’t intern at the fire department was because they don’t allow internships on liability concerns. I was told by an experienced firman that a good thing to do before apply for a firefighter position anywhere is to get a city job on the City that you are trying to work for. This will get your name in the system as well as all your financial savings information. Then it will be much easier transferring everything one you get hired. This internship will also give me knowledge of how some machinery operates and other very useful construction skills .
