Internship Program
The Duluth Police Department's Internship Program gives students hands-on experience with our investigative units. Interns will have the opportunity to work with our Major Crimes Unit, which includes Violent Crimes, Property/Financial Crimes, SCAN Unit, and our Behavioral Health Unit.
The student-intern program is open to law enforcement and criminal justice students to augment their education and provide an inside perspective of the demands of a policing career. DPD can accommodate up to three interns per semester and will accept only those students who are recommended by the Program Coordinator of the participating school. The length of the internship is based on the schools credit/hour requirements.
Interns are accepted in the following priorities:
- UMD and UWS Criminology Students
- Local residents attending college (in related field of study) outside the City of Duluth
- Students from other law enforcement programs
