It is the mission of the Washington State University Police Intern Program to educate and involve students in police operations, to interest them in possible law enforcement careers, to build mutual understanding between the student population and the police department, and to develop Interns as well-rounded, law-abiding individuals. The education aspect provides knowledge of law enforcement’s function in the community and University whether entering the field of law enforcement or not. The Intern Program offers the exposure and training necessary to facilitate successful entry into the law enforcement profession; furthermore, Law Enforcement Interning seeks to instill a desire in its members to demonstrate law abiding habits, attitudes, and practices as contributing citizens of our community.
