Today marks the beginning
of the 2016 summer internship program for four college students who have
aspirations of a career in law
enforcement.
Sheriff Tim Cameron
and Pam McKay, Coordinator of the Intern Program, kicked off the orientation by
welcoming the new interns to the Sheriff’s Office, prior to their tour of headquarters. In his
remarks, Cameron emphasized the
significance of the intern opportunity and addressed the rewards of a
career in law enforcement. He then encouraged each intern to be inquisitive and to learn about all aspects of
the Sheriff’s Office, including the varied duties of officers and staff.
The interns will
spend several weeks at the Sheriff’s Office, following a rotation schedule which
will enable them to gain a comprehensive view of all the divisions within the
Sheriff’s Office. Although the opportunity is
unpaid, interns learn valuable skills
which will make them more marketable to employers after graduation.
The Sheriff’s Office
will begin
accepting applications for the summer of 2017 in February. Any
questions about future sessions should be
addressed to Program Coordinator Pam McKay, at Pam.McKay@stmarysmd.com.
