Careers in Criminal Justice - Federal Law Enforcement Training Center College Intern Program
The locations an intern may be placed are at the primary facility in Brunswick, Georgia or the field site training facilities at Artesia, New Mexico, Cheltenham, Maryland or Charleston, South Carolina.
Program DescriptionThe FLETC College Intern Program provides a unique opportunity for interns to participate in the Federal law enforcement training environment. Three sessions of the College Intern Program are conducted annually. Sessions are twelve (12) weeks in length.
Each intern is assigned a mentor in one of the FLETC training divisions or a mentor from one of the on-site Partner Organizations. The program is designed so that, overall, half of the session is spent attending various components of Federal law enforcement basic and advanced training programs, and the remaining half of the session is spent working on meaningful law enforcement training-related research and writing projects under the guidance of the intern's mentor.
Intern BenefitsIn addition to access to FLETC's training and recreational opportunities, interns receive $39 per session day of taxable income to help defray the cost of meals, incidental expenses, and travel costs. Interns are required to live on the FLETC facility in a dormitory at no cost. Interns are issued uniforms for training and physical conditioning, which must be worn every training day.
Students majoring or obtaining advanced degrees in Criminal Justice, Criminal Justice Administration, Forensic Sciences, Psychology, or Computer Forensics, as well as students pursuing Juris Doctorate degrees are the norm, although students with other majors or focuses have been selected in the past. Of critical importance is the applicant's desire to pursue a career in Federal law enforcement.
