Item No: 8D Meeting Date: July 28, 2003 Type of Business: CA WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Mike Sommer, Police Chief Item Title/Subject: Authorization to grant a non paid internship to a Law Enforcement College Student for the summer of 2003 Date of Report: July 28 2003 Background: Students enrolled in law enforcement programs are required to complete internships with law enforcement agencies. These internships allow students to gain insight into the operation of a police agency, and at the same time a police agency is able to utilize the services of the intern to assist with projects and other work at no cost to the police agency. Discussion: A Hibbing Community College law enforcement student seeking a non-paid internship recently contacted The Mounds View Police Department. The student in question will be residing in the city of Mounds View during the remainder of the summer of 2003. The College program the student is enrolled in requires him to complete 240 intern hours with a Police Department. The student, Jeremy Seagren, was interviewed by the Police Chief who feels the student would be a suitable intern for the Police Department. Recommendation: Staff recommends authorization be given to the Police Department to grant an internship to Jeremy Seagren. The intern will be expected to complete up to 240 hours of non-paid internship work within the Police Department. The work will include assisting staff with projects and doing ride a longs with patrol officers and other work as assigned. This internship will be of benefit to both the Mounds View Police Department and the College student. _____________________ Respectfully submitted by Mike Sommer, Police Chief
