The Hispanic American Police Command Officers
Association (HAPCOA) has partnered with the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) for paid internship opportunities for college students.
The goal is to expose Latino youth to opportunities within the Federal
Government and Law Enforcement fields.
The
Federal Air Marshal Service, the law enforcement arm of the Transportation
Security Administration is pleased to announce it is offering (5) paid Summer
Internships to Hispanic students attending an accredited institution
College/University preferably seeking a degree in Criminal Justice, Law
Enforcement or Department of Homeland Security. The deadline to apply is Thursday, March 31st.

- Maintain at least a 2.0 GPA.
- U.S. Citizen or U.S. National

Though this is not a
requirement, the intent of the internship is to provide experience directly
related to the student’s educational program and career goals. Additionally,
the assignments are a means of acquainting students with the mission of
TSA/FAMS and assisting them in planning their careers. Moreover, this
opportunity enhances the interns understanding the role this law enforcement
organization is tasked with enforcing. The internships will be in the TSA HQ – DC Area, FAMS HQ-
Reston, VA and TSOC-Chantilly, VA. No housing or per diem is
authorized. At the conclusion of the internship each participant

recommendations for 5 interns.
