Digital Forensics Intern

The MSP Cyber Section’s Computer Crimes Unit (CCU) offices in Bridgeport are seeking digital forensics and criminal justice students enrolled in a post-secondary educational program that are interested in an unpaid internship with the Michigan State Police for the Fall or Winter 2026 semesters.  This internship would be approximately 10-20 hours per week, for approximately 12 weeks, with start and end dates to be determined by the requirements of the selected individual’s educational institution.   

The CCU provides investigative support in the seizure, acquisition, and analysis of digital evidence including digital device forensic examinations for the law enforcement community.

The CCU also has oversight over the statewide Michigan Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. The task force includes over 50 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies who work together to investigate offenders who use the internet, online communication systems, or computer technology to sexually exploit children.

Students applying for this internship should have a strong understanding of digital forensics software and techniques, and interests in the digital forensics and criminal justice fields.
