Internships

King County Sheriff's Office internship opportunity! 

Overview

The King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) offers an internship program for college students interested in criminal justice, government operations, and law enforcement. This unpaid internship is designed to give students real-world exposure to the inner workings of a large law enforcement agency while developing practical workplace skills and earning academic credit.

Interns support administrative projects within KCSO units and gain a behind-the-scenes look at how the agency operates. While this is not a field-based internship, interns may have opportunities to participate in enrichment experiences such as ride-alongs, unit tours, training exercises, and job shadowing.
