I graduated from UofSC a year ago and am looking to secure employment in law enforcement. I do not have a Police Office 1 certification and understand that only being employed by a Police Department can I receive the Academy Training that I need. All of the applications start out really good, but I don't have any experience, and that keeps me from securing the position. Any advice?

If your degree was in criminal justice, I would suggest applying to larger police departments. If not, consider county sheriff and small-to-mid-sized police departments. Rookie cops usually have no law enforcement experience. It's not like tech or other industries. There truly are entry-level positions. Upon being hired, the department will pay for you to attend a police academy and obtain POST certification. It will be your responsible to renew and retain that certification. If you have trouble for some reason, consider private security companies to get boots-on-the-ground experience and initial training.

Internship Program Help: Hi Everyone! I’ve never worked for a company with any type of internship program at all, let alone a really successful one.

I’d like to create more of a structure to this program but not even really sure where to begin. Also don’t want to bite off more than I can chew, but would love to hear some tips or even better, maybe have a quick chat if willing?
