The Massachusetts State Police Student Internship Program provides eligible students the opportunity to experience what it would be like to work in a public safety organization. The primary purpose of this program is to expose the student to how the principles, practices and theories of their major area of study are practically applied in the workforce.

Available internships are limited:

  • There is no guarantee that all applicants will receive an internship.
  • If you do not receive an internship in your first requested semester, you can request to move your application
    to the next semester.
  • If you receive and attend an internship with the Department, you will not be eligible to apply for another
    internship.

All communications will be by email once your application packet is received.

  • Once your completed application packet is received and deemed eligible for an internship, we will work on your request for an available internship.
  • Once we have selected you for an available internship, your information will be submitted to a pre-placement screening.
  • Once you are deemed eligible by our pre-placement screening to participate in the internship program, we will reach out to you to confirm your agreement to the internship.
  • Once we have received your confirmation to your internship, your supervisor will receive your contact information.
  • Your supervisor will contact you and arrange your start date, end date and times available to intern.
