Internships
The Fargo Police Department offers internships to college students on an ongoing basis. Benefits of an internship include training (paid positions are available on a limited basis), and the satisfaction in giving back to the community. Interns help the Department carry out many vital and support functions and also help develop closer links to the communities of Fargo . Interns are usually assigned to a specific division or unit in the Department based on their interests and the amount of work available. They do a variety of jobs including:
- Data entry
- Crime scene diagrams
- Computer programming
- Assisting in investigations
- Geographic Information System work
Interns are asked to work a set number of hours per week based on the requirements of their class. Hours are flexible, enabling students to put in their hours around their class schedule.
