Private Investigation Internship Opportunities
Our internship program gives students and career changers supervised exposure to real investigative workflows in Florida.
You will see how licensed investigators handle case intake, research, documentation, and field support in a professional environment.
What You Will Learn
Training covers surveillance fundamentals, evidence documentation, research databases, report writing, legal standards, interviewing, and professional ethics.
Interns work alongside licensed investigators so classroom concepts translate into practical skills.
Program Structure
Internships are offered during semester and summer cycles, typically lasting 10 to 16 weeks. Programs can be aligned with academic credit requirements.
Each placement combines guided instruction, office-based research, supervised field exposure, and professional development.
Who Should Apply
We accept applicants from criminal justice, law, criminology, forensic science, and related programs, plus qualified career-transition candidates.
Applicants must be at least 18, pass a background check, hold a valid Florida driver's license, and have reliable transportation.
How to Apply
Send your resume and a brief statement of interest. We interview on a rolling basis for fall, spring, and summer placements.
