The Lower Providence Police Department Is Looking For Students Who Want To Intern In 2022

LOWER PROVIDENCE, PA — The Lower Providence Township Police Department says it is looking for local college students who are interested in criminal justice to serve as interns for 2022.

Students who are interested in interning with the police department must meet certain criteria, such as be enrolled in an internship or independent study through their respective college or university, and have a 2.5-or-higher grade point average on a 4.0 scale.

Those college students who are interested in being part of next year's intern program must submit one application and one letter of recommendation.

The interns will be exposed to various aspects of law enforcement work. They will interact with citizens, learn how to write police reports, engage in routine agency activities, and assist in the conduct of ongoing police department research projects, according to the police department.

During the orientation period, interns will tour the department, be introduced to police personnel, learn about other agencies that the department interacts with on a regular basis, learn about responsibilities and agency polices, and be assigned various reading materials relating to items like the Pennsylvania Crimes Code and Motor Vehicle Code.
