The Indianapolis Police Department now has a formal Internship Program for college and university students. The program is specifically designed for junior and senior level students. The Indianapolis Police Department Internship Program is very dynamic and offers college students some of the best experience and training available. IPD exposes its student interns to a vast array of areas within the Police Department. Students receive hands-on experience in the areas of patrol techniques, criminal investigations, identification and records procedures, E911 communications, and victim assistance.
Interns observe, but they train and work as well.
Internship schedules are very flexible and allow for outside employment. These positions are unpaid. Schedules can be adapted to fall, spring, and summer sessions of almost any length. And because IPD is a full service police agency, we can accommodate several student interns at any given time.
