Project Examples

Requirements

Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.

Project activities that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:

  • Literature research
  • Market research
  • Understanding of current policies and issues within policing and police organizational structures
  • A desire to pursue law enforcement, public policy reform, law, and other affiliated industries connected to policing.
