I have decided that I want to work in law enforcement; however, there are so many different areas, sectors, and levels that I can choose from. I know I want to be a police officer; however, I am unsure whether federal, state, or local law enforcement would be the best fit for me. Growing up in Sussex County, I was thrilled to have been offered an internship with the Sheriff\u2019s Office. This internship will allow me the opportunity to explore a different side of law enforcement, compared to a traditional police department, and specifically see if the work of the Sheriff\u2019s Office is something that I could imagine myself doing. Through this internship, I will also have the opportunity to work in each department of the office, including patrol, K9, home detention, investigations, emergency management, and fire marshal. Getting first-hand experience with these divisions will give me a well-rounded understanding of how a law enforcement agency operates. Observing the unique skills required for each role will help me identify where my own strengths and interests lie and see what best suits me. The possibilities are endless in law enforcement, and this internship will impact my career path by helping me to narrow down that scope. It will provide me the chance to see what the job and lifestyle are like working for a smaller, more local Sheriff\u2019s office and allow me the chance to explore various departments to see what fits me best. Ultimately, this experience will serve as the foundation for my future career decisions, transforming my broad passion for public service into a more specific career plan. By the time I complete this internship, I expect to have the clarity and confidence needed to make a thoughtful and informed decision on what law enforcement career would suit me best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Hannah Horn, Cybercrime &amp; Homeland Security 2027<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-864\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2026\/06\/Hannah-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"575\" height=\"575\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During my internship with the Sussex County Sheriff\u2019s Office, I hope to gain hands-on experience and knowledge of the day-to-day life working in law enforcement.
