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 name of the person to be interviewed 
• The reason why the team wants to interview that person 
• What information they hope to gain from that interview 
• How that person is involved in the case (suspect, family member, witness) 
• Three possible locations to hold the interview 
• Name of team member who will be conducting the interview 

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: 

• Male and Female students will have different hotel rooms 
• Alcohol consumption is NOT allowed when interns are traveling 
• Interns have a curfew of midnight 
• The interns may spend their free time as they wish, as long as they are in their respective hotel rooms by curfew 
• Interns represent not only Utah Valley University, but Utah’s Cold Case Coalition, only the most professional behavior is expected from them. 
• Interns may choose to travel to the location alone, however they will be expected to be on time and honest when handing in gas receipts for reimbursement. 
• Any intern that drives themselves or offers their vehicles for carpooling MUST provide their insurance documents to prove that the passengers are covered in case of an accident. 
• If an intern wishes to seek arrangements outside of what the liaison sets up, they may do so, however the intern MUST inform the team and get approval from their team leader and liaison. They WILL NOT be reimbursed for travel expenses if they make their own arrangements, unless the intern is traveling alone for an assignment. 
• If reimbursement for food is possible, the interns will be reimbursed $15 for each full day of travel. 

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.

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.

We have projects that require attention to detail, and research within the database and criminal justice system.

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.

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.

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.
