Investigations and CAT Internships

The Roseville Police Department is offering two different paid internship opportunities, a position as a Police Intern with our Investigations Unit and a position as a Police Intern with our Community Action Team (CAT). Although much of the work is similar between the two roles, there are some differences in the focus of the work depending on the unit. Interns in both positions work with community members and victims on case assignments and assist their team with whatever else may be required of them. Additionally, both interns have the opportunity to go on a ride along with an officer, sit-in on officer trainings, attend an autopsy, visit the Ramsey County dispatch center, and assist during search warrants.
