We sit down with our summer interns, Jackson and Cody, to talk about how a “summer job” turned into real clarity about a future in law enforcement. They share the moments that shaped them, from family legacies to long surveillance days that end with SWAT action, plus what they wish every applicant knew before applying.
• why both interns chose the Allen Police internship program
• how family law enforcement history shapes career decisions
• a full circle story with Sergeant Williams and past connections
• what a narcotics surveillance day really looks like
• how SWAT warrants work and what a nine-banger is
• what K9 training teaches about focus and control
• what interns learn on patrol ride-alongs including a DWI arrest process
• what the oral board feels like and how to prepare
• why relationships and mentorship matter in a police department
