Richard Finch Cop' - A Rare Opportunity to Experience Your Future Career While Still Attending School

As a junior criminal justice major at Point Park University, I was thrilled to learn about the Ocean City Police Department's (OCPD) paid summer program for students pursuing careers in law enforcement. The program offers an unparalleled opportunity to gain hands-on experience in your desired field while still attending school.

During a recent presentation by officers Connor Finch and Yovanny Ramirez from the OCPD, we were introduced to various career-related opportunities available to students. According to Finch and Ramirez, the OCPD is looking to hire approximately 75 police officers, 50 public safety aides, and 20 communications operators this summer.

As an aspiring criminal justice professional, I was particularly intrigued by the prospect of earning college internship credits through this experience. Additionally, getting my foot in the door for my future career would be a significant bonus.

Junior criminal justice major Alyssa Harris is also considering the opportunity, which aligns with her interests in criminal justice administration. Strimlan works diligently every year to set up this program and deserves thanks from all involved, according to Richard Linzer, J.D., associate professor and director of the M.S. program at Point Park University.

The paid summer program offers a unique chance to try out your anticipated career while spending time in a beach-vacation like environment. As Edward Strimlan, M.D., associate professor and coordinator of the forensic science program, emphasized: 'Taking advantage of opportunities like this will set you and your resume apart from other candidates when you are applying for jobs.'

In conclusion, the Ocean City Police Department's paid summer program is a rare chance to experience your future career while still attending school. I highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity to gain valuable work experience, earn college internship credits, and enhance your resume. With its unique combination of hands-on training and beach-vacation like environment, this program truly stands out as an exceptional opportunity for students pursuing careers in law enforcement.
