An internship is a temporary work experience that allows the individual to get some hands-on, real world, entry-level experience under their belt with the supervision and training of an experienced professional. Some internships are paid while others are unpaid, but the main focus of an internship is on experience. An internship should include learning goals that connect concepts learned in the classroom to real world scenarios in an effort to gain practical experience and help the intern accomplish their career goals. Internships are important because they offer a number of benefits to both students and employers.
Is this what I really want to do for a career?
Devoting years of your life and education to a career is a big commitment. How can you be sure that it’s something that you want to do for the rest of your life if you’ve never done it before? An internship can help answer this question by letting you sample the industry without a long-term commitment. A profession may not always be what we think it is and getting your hands dirty with some good old-fashioned, real-world experience is the best way to find out if you’ve found the job of your dreams or just another 9-to-5 that pays the bills. The sooner you are able to figure this out, the sooner you can be on your way to having a fulfilling career in what you’re passionate about.
Connections with professionals in the field
Experience
Experience is golden, and the more experience you have the more valuable you are. Employers are always looking for candidates with experience. More experience means more skill, and more skill means you have more to offer a future employer. But how do you get experience if no one will hire you because you have no experience? An internship is a good place to start. Employers don’t expect interns to have a lot of experience or even any experience. It’s a good place to get your foot in the door. Interns are expected to be responsible, reliable, and professional just like an employee, but the objective of an internship is to get some basic hands-on experience. Additionally, an internship lets you develop or learn some skills that may be much harder to develop in a classroom setting. Think of it this way… reading how to ride a bike and actually riding a bike are two different things. Sometimes the best way to learn how to do something is to jump in and try it out.
Enhance your resume
An internship on a resume shows a prospective employer that you have some familiarity with the industry including some real-world training. This is especially true if the skills that were developed during the internship are listed on the resume. It can also be an indicator of your commitment to your career because it shows you’ve taken the initiative to get some hands-on experience. Additionally, a solid reference from an internship host shows that you’re trustworthy which is so important in today’s fleeting applicant pool. An internship with a respected employer could set you above the competition.

There are lots of different ways to find an internship and lots of different resources. But they typically involve one thing: networking. The right internship is out there somewhere and sometimes finding it is just a matter of asking around. Here are some different ways to find an internship:
Utilize UVU's Internship Coordinator
Ask Faculty & Advisors for a referal
Reach out to Friends and Family for resources and directions in the industry
Reach out to your Dream Company.
Do your research, explain your career goals, inquire about opportunities. Be personable, polite, and professional. Make sure to get names and contact information to follow up. People who are actively involved in the industry sometimes have the best information to offer and may be willing to lend a helping hand. It never hurts to ask.
To receive credit for your internship you will need to take an online course in conjunction with your internship experience. How this credit is placed depends on the major. (Some majors, like Criminal Justice, have an internship class built into the program that students are required to complete. For Criminal Justice majors, this credit goes towards that class. For other majors the credit can go towards an upper division elective.) Like any other course this includes coursework, due dates, and paying tuition. Be aware that 60 internship hours a semester (about 5 hours a week) equals 1 academic credit for Criminal Justice and Forensic Science majors. This is important when determining how many credits you’ll be taking based on how many hours a week you can comfortably fit into your schedule and what your internship host is able to accommodate – something you should also establish with your internship host beforehand. Also you need to work with your site supervisor to determine three to four objectives that go under the description area on the internship application for credit. The internship class instructor for the criminal justice department is Melissa Noyes.
Below is the process for receiving credit for an internship. Please note that you can’t receive credit for past internships that you have already completed.

UVU’s Cold Case Coalition Internship
Mission
The mission of Utah Valley University’s (UVU) Cold Case Internship is to assist the
non-profit organization known as Utah’s Cold Case Coalition (UCCC) in reviewing, investigating
and maximizing group participation to solve as many cold cases as possible. We [the
interns] strive to not only maintain a positive working environment among ourselves,
but to forge strong relationships with our partners, especially the founders of the
UCCC; we strive for excellence as we adhere to legal guidelines to assist these organizations.
The interns will embody Utah Valley University’s standards of integrity, professionalism
and leadership to the highest degree, creating
a stronger foundation for the future students that follow.
Purpose/Vision:
This program has been designed to benefit everyone involved in this program. The students
will gain invaluable hands-on experience with attorneys and criminal investigators
dedicated to the pursuit of justice. Utah’s Cold Case Coalition has benefited from
the overwhelming support from volunteers in the state of Utah. In theory, UVU is expected
to receive more students to enroll in this program in the near future which will allow
the university to expand their educational resources for both faculty and students.
This program will also help the University and it’s students to strengthen relationships
with the law enforcement agencies throughout the state of Utah, since the cold cases
come from all over the state. This will also be a great opportunity for the students
to network and help set up potential careers with these agencies.
Operation:
In order to effectively run this internship program, a reliable and unchanging schedule
and structure needs to be established. The most effective way to do this and provide
the results for all parties is to set up something similar to a police agencies chain
of command. Each party would select a liaison that would be informed of the interns
work, actions and results. Each liaison would be there to discuss concerns and expectations
from this program. The liaisons are responsible for keeping each other informed of
all activity and changes in the program. A simple example of how this works is the
liaison for the interns sends all results and requests for action (these requests
will be explained later) to the liaisons for UVU and UCCC. The requests must be approved
by both liaisons before the interns can take any action on a case, that way most
miscommunications can be avoided. It will also be ensure that all parties involved
will be kept informed on the status of each case, who is working on the cases and
what is needed to proceed.
Liaisons:
The role of the student liaison is to simply deliver the case updates, reports and
requests of action to the other liaisons, as well as communicate any information from
the other liaisons to the interns. The liaison for Utah’s Cold Case Coalition is in
charge of how many cases they entrust to the interns at a time, along with any deadlines,
activities (such as body searches) and interviews/arrests that are made. The UCCC
also has a say in how many interns are working at one time, given that the UCCC decides
how many people they allow access to the case. The UCCC also has full rights to discipline
any intern that breaches the Non-Disclosure Statement they will be required to sign.
The liaison for Utah Valley University acts as the educator/mentor for the interns.
They are also the point of contact that the students may use when applying for grants
or any other assistance that will be used to pursue these cases. The liaison will
also be the point of contact that the students use to secure university resources
for use by the interns, such as the room that the interns will meet in. This liaison
is the only one who has the power to take away any university provided resources that
are no longer needed or not being used by the interns.
The Interns:
This is an unpaid internship, meaning that the students who intern with this program
are volunteering their time. The students must also sign a Non-Disclosure Statement
which will explain that they cannot discuss any details about the cold cases that
will be assigned by The UCCC. Violation of this agreement will meet automatic termination
from the program and discipline from The UCCC.
To help increase productivity and to avoid mistakes, the interns will be divided into
teams, and each team will be given up to two or three cases to work on, no more. Each
team of interns will have a team leader, who will assign certain tasks to the members
of the team as he/she sees fit. The team will be responsible for documenting and maintaining
all research, data, evidence and notes used during the course of working on a case.
The role of the team leader is to assign tasks to team members, write up all reports,
log the hours of each intern and write the requests of action. The team leader will
also be in charge of sending bi-weekly reports of the teams' progress to the intern
liaison. The team leader will be the only one on the team that has access to the evidence
for a case and will be the individual held responsible for anything that goes missing.
Team leaders will be students who are in their junior or senior year of study, have
completed at least one semester with the program and have exceeded the expectations
of the liaisons. However, if the team leaders are NOT meeting expectations, they will
be given a warning. After two warnings, the team leader will be told to step down
and a new team leader will be selected.
The team members will be the ones who are working on the cases and will report all
findings to the team leader. Team members will also be responsible for completing
the tasks assigned to them by the team leader. Team members must be willing to participate
in paper research, building timelines, crime scene reconstructions, interviews, search
for dead bodies, review medical examiner notes/photos and any other task that will
help solve the case. Because of the nature of this internship, teamwork is expected
and required from all of the student interns involved. Because of the college atmosphere
that the students are use to, which is to conduct research on topics in the comfort
of their own home, often alone, the program is requiring that each intern spend a
minimum of three hours a week or nine hours a month with the team.
Request for Action:
There will be times during a case that the interns will want or need to interview
a victim’s family member or a suspect. However, these interns are students that have
little to no experience in interviewing individuals regarding a criminal case, some
who are potentially dangerous people. For the safety of the student, before any kind
of contact is made with an individual, a request must be sent to the UCCC and UVU
liaisons for approval.
This request will contain the following information:
The request will then be sent for approval by both the UCCC and UVU liaisons. The
UCCC liaison will review the request and decide if the team has enough information
to validate the interview, and because these cold cases have been turn over to the
UCCC to solve, the liaison has the power to deny any request if they believe it will
bring negative consequences to their organization.
The UVU liaison will review the request and base their approval on the availability
of resources, time constraints and of course student safety. Since the program will
be requesting grants to help pay for travel and hotels of the interns, every penny
will need to be accounted for and justified to avoid abuse of any resources that is
granted to the program.
The UVU liaison will also be the one to decide if the request allows the interns enough
time to safely travel to a location, conduct the task (interview, crime scene review,
search for bodies) and then safely return to the university. In short, this liaison
is something of a safety officer.
A request for action can also be modified to request travel to a crime scene, participate
in a search for a missing person/body, or to help assist in any major UCCC activity.
The purpose of these requests is to justify any and all actions that will require
some sort of additional resource, and help prevent abuse of any resources given to
the interns.
Travel Rules:
During the course of this internship there will be times the interns will need to
travel. Assuming the educational research grant is approved for the internship, the
grant money will be use by the students to pay for the travel expenses. The UVU/Internship
liaison will help the students account for every penny spent on gas and hotels, ensuring
that no financial abuse occurs and allowing the students to continue traveling for
the internship.
The rules of travel for the internship program are simple, but absolute. The rules
are:
All travel can only be approved by the the liaison from Utah’s Cold Case Coalition,
and no one else. If an intern wishes to travel to interview an individual, they will
make the request known to the team leader, the team leader will then inform the intern
liaison to start the paperwork. Upon approval, the team leader will select who will
travel to conduct the interview and seek approval from the liaison. Just because an
intern makes the request for an interview, does not mean that intern will be selected
to conduct the interview.
Any questions or concerns about travel will be addressed as they come up.
Intern Portfolios:
During the course of this internship, each individual intern will have a portfolio
kept to document the intern’s actions, achievements, work ethic and any behavior that
a team leader or liaison has written about the intern, positive or negative. The purpose
for these portfolios is the same purpose that police agencies and the military have
performance reviews, to give the intern something to strive for and use as a tool
for improvement. The portfolio will also be used to help keep track of the volunteer
hours an intern logs or if the intern is using the program as internship credit with
the university, the portfolio will help keep track of and prove the interns’ involvement.
It will also give the intern something to be used when applying for employment. If
the intern lists the internship program as a reference, the portfolio can act as an
unofficial letter of recommendation, with much more detail about the intern and their
work ethic.
The portfolios are kept up to date and maintained by the intern and UCCC liaisons,
with the help of the team leaders. Interns may request to view their portfolio at
any time, however they will not have the ability to change anything in their personal
portfolio. If an intern has any documented violations that they wish to have removed,
the intern can request a review of their conduct from their team leader. After the
review, if the team leader believes the intern has improved and won’t likely have
anymore violations, the team leader can submit a removal of violation to the liaison
and the liaison will remove the violation from the portfolio.
Agreement with Utah’s Cold Case Coalition:
This document is to serve as proof that the non-profit organization, known as Utah’s
Cold Case Coalition, is aware of the creation of this internship for students that
attend Utah Valley University.
As part of this agreement, the interns that participate in this program recognize
that any and all actions that the interns wish to take while researching a case, must
be approved through a member of Utah’s Cold Case Coalition. The member of Utah’s
Cold Case Coalition who is the professional supervisor and has absolute authority
to change anything about this program at any time is Mrs. Karra Porter. To help prevent
chaos and maintain an organized flow of information between the student interns and
the office in Salt Lake City, Gordon Brack is acting as the student liaison (the student
that emails all requests and reports to the Utah Cold Case Coalition) however the
liaison does not have the authority to make any decisions concerning the cases the
students are working on.

I'm from Camp Weequahic, a private co-ed summer camp in Northeast Pennsylvania, and we're looking for criminal justice students to serve as our daytime security guards and front-gate greeters during our 2019 summer season.
I am hoping that you can pass this information on to students in your department (please let me know if there is a better person to contact). We welcome the opportunity to speak with any interested candidates.
Our dates for this summer are June 19- August 12, and our contract includes room and board and a travel stipend along with a seasonal salary. We also look forward to supporting students' internship or credit hours.
Please check out our short video and our website at www.weequahic.com, where you can fill out our online application. For questions or if you have an interest, please feel free to call 877.899.9695, email James at james@weequahic.com, or check our Facebook page dedicated to our 2019 staff.
Internship Opportunity: Usually up to 6 positions available each semester (ongoing)
We have projects that require attention to detail, and research within the database and criminal justice system. We also like to let students review files and let us know if there are particular offender populations they would like to know more about during their internship. With the latter, we pair them up with a manager who oversees hearing officials, program specialists and office specialists. There are days where students will have to do some clerical work that isn't as exciting. We invite them to attend hearings at the prison to observe and see how our process works.
Our network for recommendations in the criminal justice and corrections systems is vast, and we would be happy to give well-deserved recommendations for interns who will do well anywhere.

Department of Natural Resources - Seasonal Positions
Rangers are unique law enforcement officers, as we have tasks that no other city or county officers may have. We hire roughly 20 seasonal staff members each summer, and do several internships a year. Often times we are able to hire an intern if a position is available. A person may chose to solely intern and shadow a Ranger ~ via a ride a long, and be given tasks that Rangers do for their credit. Or if they are an employee, along with their assigned tasks we include the intern on meetings, some ride along(s), and other things most employees don't get to participate in. This is to (a) fill a need in the park, and (b) get the intern experience in this unique and rewarding career.

Job Description:
Slate Canyon, Springville Observation & Assessment (O&A), and Lightning Peak are all facilities within the Division Juvenile Justice Services (DJJS) who operates under the direction of the State of Utah Human Services. DJJS classifies all youth based on levels (low, moderate, & high) of delinquency risk and further seeks to reduce this risk. This is important to understanding in discussing the differences between Lighting Peak and O&A.
Slate Canyon Youth Center serves youth as a detention and long-term program that is structured similarly to a county jail where youth can be booked by law enforcement for violations of the Utah criminal code or can be ordered by a judge to serve a specific number of days as a sanction for continued delinquency. Slate Canyon Long-Term is structured as a youth prison facility where youth will serve a minimum of 6 months.
Lightning Peak is an Early Intervention facility for moderate risk youth. Youth are often ordered to complete the Lightening Peak program as a sanction for continued delinquency. Lightening Peak provides youth a more structured environment to complete community service hours as well as specific psychoeducation programming intended to strengthen families.
Springville Observation & Assessment (O&A) is a mid-entry facility for moderate to high risk youth. Youth are ordered to complete O&A when issues causing delinquency are not clear. Youth at O&A spend 45 days in a residential treatment setting where clinical staff complete psychological assessments and facility staff complete protective and risk assessments. The nature of O&A is meant to discover sources of delinquency and to further structure appropriate interventions to decrease risk. In addition to the assessment process, youth engage in substance abuse, decision making, and family psychoeducation groups.
Applicants for Slate Canyon must be 21 years of age or older. Applicants for all centers must be able to pass a background check.
