Internship Philosophy

The combined efforts of educators and competent professionals in the field of Criminal Justice can produce an effective and meaningful type of experience through an internship program. 

The purpose of the internship is to develop a learning experience for both the student and the agency, resulting in the student developing a greater understanding and appreciation for the overall law enforcement and criminal justice system, and specifically, for that area in which his or her interests lie.  The student will have the opportunity to correlate theory with practice and be stimulated to the point of challenging, examining, questioning, and analyzing those areas to which he or she is exposed. 

Professor Mario Davila explains internship requirements to students.  Professor Davila is the Internship Director and students with questions should direct their questions to him. 
The program should also allow the student to make a contribution to the agency to which he or she is assigned to by evaluating his or her observations and experiences and making recommendations to be considered by the agency head which may prove to be beneficial to the functioning of the agency.

The Internship will also provide the student the opportunity to formalize goals and to better prepare himself or herself upon graduation to enter the field of his or her choice.  Additionally, it will expose the student to the requirements of the employing agencies, providing an opportunity to meet those requirements, and serve as a source of recruitment for the participating agencies.
