Internships

Overview

The Avon Police Department (APD) offers internships to high school or college students who are interested in pursuing a degree in criminal justice and or becoming a police officer. The Internship Program strives to provide a quality educational experience to high school or college students by providing the student with a positive "hands on" learning environment in the field of law enforcement, while enhancing their understanding of the criminal justice system. 

Interns spend time in each section of the department, working with Patrol Officers, Detectives, Dispatch, Records and Information Services, Community Services, and more. APD offers unpaid internship opportunities for high school and college students and attempts to balance the high school or college internship program requirements with the Avon Police Department Internship Program.
