We are proud to join efforts with area
universities and colleges to offer the opportunity of internship
experiences. Our non-paid internships offer students an opportunity
to observe and work in all divisions of our Department.
The objective of this program is to provide a meaningful
learning and work experience and to provide an opportunity to
assess the police profession first hand. Typical experiences may
include: Juvenile Investigations, Adult Investigations, Crime
Scene Unit activities, Traffic Enforcement, Patrol,
Communications and Special
Investigations (Vice and Narcotics).It is hard to predict specific experiences that
interns receive. Internships are typically composed of 80%
observation and 20% actual work. Observation experiences
for interns have included a wide variety of police work from
autopsies to major crime scenes and some have observed our
Emergency Response Team up close by portraying a hostage during
their training exercises. It is our intention to provide a comprehensive learning
experience. However, we cannot guarantee the exact
experiences you will receive due to the nature of police
activities and the unpredictability of criminal activity.
An internship with the Carmel Police Department
will be a very rich and rewarding experience. We hope to
provide students with an opportunity to be actual participants
and observers in the day-to-day operations of a law enforcement
agency. Interns will have the opportunity to compare and
contrast academic teachings to real-life situations.

college student internship program, contact your college or
university internship coordinators.
