Criminal Justice Internship – Police Recruitment & Assessment

Future of Police Hiring — Now Hiring an Intern

GetBadged is a next-generation law enforcement hiring platform working with police departments across Massachusetts and New Hampshire to help identify, assess, and connect high-quality candidates with agencies ready to hire.

Custom developed by Police Exam Solutions, LLC — industry experts with over 26+ years of experience — we’ve rewritten the script for how successful police recruitment and hiring is done.

We are also proud to be a woman-owned company leading innovation in the public safety hiring space.
 

We’re not a traditional job board. We operate at the intersection of recruitment, assessment, and hiring strategy — helping departments modernize how they discover and evaluate the next generation of officers.

The Opportunity:

• We’re looking for a Criminal Justice or Public Safety–focused intern who wants real exposure to how modern police hiring actually works.
• This is not a “coffee-run” internship. You’ll be directly involved in the candidate assessment process, exam administration, research, and new project development designed to improve how agencies identify strong recruits.
• You’ll also play a role in exploring how AI can be leveraged in public safety recruitment — from conducting research to evaluating tools and identifying innovative products we can integrate into our platform.

⸻

Time Commitment:

• Approximately 20–25 hours per week, with opportunities for increased hours based on performance and initiative. Role includes assisting with in-person police entry exams across Massachusetts on Saturdays (7:45 AM – 12:00 PM).
• Must have reliable transportation and the ability to travel to exam locations throughout Massachusetts.
• Work will be conducted both in person and through regular Zoom sessions.

⸻

What You’ll Work On:

• Assisting with administration of police entry exams (compiling attendance rosters, supporting exam facilitation, importing scores).
• Supporting candidate assessment and hiring pipeline projects.
• Researching modern recruitment strategies for law enforcement agencies.
• Exploring and applying AI tools for research, workflow efficiency, platform enhancement, and creation of hiring announcements and content for department clients.
• Evaluating and identifying products and technologies that can be integrated into the GetBadged platform.
• Helping develop new initiatives that evaluate officer readiness and candidate potential.
• Participating in project meetings both in person and via Zoom.

⸻

We’re Looking for Someone Who Is:

• Pursuing or recently completed a degree in Criminal Justice, Public Safety, or a related field.
• Innovative and curious — someone who thinks beyond the standard approach.
• Interested in leveraging AI and emerging technology in real-world applications.
• Personable and professional when interacting with candidates and departments.
• A quick learner with strong attention to detail.
• Strong in time management and project tracking — able to take ownership without needing micromanagement.
• Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively.
• Committed to operating with authenticity, professionalism, and integrity.

Why This Internship Is Different:

You’ll help build a portfolio of real, meaningful projects related to the assessment and hiring of police officers — while gaining firsthand insight into the evolving challenges and opportunities in public safety recruitment.

This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of public safety, technology, and innovation — and contribute to shaping what comes next.

If you’re interested in the future of policing — and want to help shape it — we’d love to hear from you.
