Child Crisis Detective Intern
May - July 2019 • Tulsa, OK
What I liked
I really overall liked everything about being able to intern with Tulsa PD.
What I wish was different
The only thing I wish could’ve been different was being able to get more involved than I was able to be, given the time I was there.
Advice
Amazing experience and great opportunity, definitely would do it again. I will mention that it is a very emotional job so hold on to your tears and don’t take any of it home with you. That would be my advice for you from this experience.
