The Ramapo Police Department has concluded its 2026 Internship Program, providing students with an inside look at the many facets of modern law enforcement through hands-on training and field experiences.

Over the course of the program, interns were introduced to a wide range of police operations, including patrol duties, criminal investigations, vehicle tactics, defensive tactics, firearms and less-lethal training, K-9 demonstrations, drone operations, and marine patrol.

Participants also had the opportunity to work alongside several partner agencies, including the Rockland County District Attorney's Office Investigations Bureau, the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, REACT, and the Rockland County Sheriff's Office, gaining firsthand insight into the teamwork and coordination involved in public safety.

The department thanked the officers, investigators, instructors, and partner agencies who dedicated their time to mentoring the interns throughout the program, helping prepare the next generation of public service professionals.

Police said they hope the experience gave participants a deeper appreciation for the law enforcement profession and inspired those considering careers in policing and public service. The department wished all of the interns continued success in their academic and professional pursuits.
