Since I was entering internship with know concrete knowledge and hoping to find an idea, I can say that it has been very helpful in considering what I would like to do in the future, and higher education.
I was in a position where there is a lot of communication and collaboration between many different aspects of the field I was interning in. I have been able to talk to all positions within the department and those outside of it (i.e. judges, prosectors, etc.). As well as speaking with those currently in college programs that are headed into law enforcement or military. I have been able to learn and observe a lot more than I expected going in and am very pleased with this.
When speaking with officers there were several things they said that someone should have going in. However, they stated that entering this job, they had no skills or real preparation besides the training courses they are put through. I feel that I have had the chance to develop many of the skills that are necessary during the job already in previous experiences.
