Student Stories
“The most valuable things I learned from my internship with the Vermont State Police are that you can go anywhere in life you want to, and every call is different. In the law enforcement world, there needs to be a high level of professionalism. A call might not go the way you want it to. You may be frustrated, but the next call is a whole new situation. Those individuals needing help deserve the same attention and focus as everyone else.”
