Overview

The Roswell Police Department offers an excellent opportunity for local high school students and college students interested in Criminal Justice-related degrees. The program can be individually tailored for each student depending on their needs but the intern will have the opportunity to spend time with Uniform Patrol, the Criminal Investigations Division, the 911 Center, the Property/Evidence Unit, Records, Municipal Court, and the Traffic Enforcement Unit.

The Police Department will hold interviews as necessary to ensure the best candidates are awarded the Internship. The internship program is a fantastic avenue for students interested in a law enforcement career. A successful internship with the Roswell Police Department can lead to a competitive edge during the application process for a full or part-time job.
