Internship Program

The Moorhead Police Department is committed to helping students explore the field of law enforcement and to help them decide if law enforcement is a good career choice for them. The Moorhead Police Department accepts one student intern during fall semester, spring semester and during the summer.

Internships are 200 hours during a 10 week period. During that time you will receive orientation in the following areas:

Patrol (evening, overnights, and days)
Detective Bureau
Records
Dispatch
Courts
D.A.R.E.
Community Policing
Community Service

All prospective interns are required to submit an application for consideration. All interns are subject to an interview and a background check. The Moorhead Police Department maintains high standards for accepting interns and, in turn, provides interns with a comprehensive and positive experience in all aspects of law enforcement. The Moorhead Police Department Internship Program is a great way for you to learn more about this agency and for this agency to learn more about you!
