Baltimore City Police Department Forensic Science and Evidence Management Services Division College Internship Application
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS: To qualify, your cumulative GPA must be a minimum of 3.3, and you must have completed two semesters of college. You MUST be able to physically come in to BPD HQ 6-8 weeks in advance of starting in order to be finger-printed and begin the background process, and you must be able to serve at our physical location during regular working hours (between 7 am and 5 pm). Internship Completion Requirements: You must have completed a minimum of 80 hours over the semester in order to successfully complete the internship. Internships within the Agency but outside of the Forensic Laboratory will include working with sworn personnel and receiving exposure in the Criminal Justice field. Internships are unpaid and competitive. Being an intern allows you to develop relationships while exploring the areas of your interest and may give you a competitive advantage in your future employment search. Though an internship is never a guarantee of employment, we are proud to say that some of our most outstanding interns are now our employees. Applications are due June 1st for Fall, September 1st of the prior year for Spring, and February 1st for Summer. Internships are available in the Forensics laboratories, Crime Scene and Evidence Management, and select units outside of the Forensic Division, including the Police Commissioner's office and Special Events. (For high school internships please email 4n6.outreach@baltimorepolice.org)
BACKGROUND CHECK REQUIRED
All interns will be required to process a background check process prior to a final acceptance. Applicants are required to come to our physical location during regular working hours 6 - 8 weeks prior to the beginning of the semester to begin the background process. Please do NOT APPLY if you are unable to satisfy that requirement as you will be disqualified. Please note: the entire background process can take up to 8 weeks before interns have badges and are allowed to report.
