What I'm Doing

For my internship this Fall, I will be interning at the District Attorney's Office, gaining experience in criminal justice. The internship will last from March 12th-30th. This internship will give me great experience so that I may pursue a criminal justice degree in college. Basically what I will be doing is following a case from start to finish and seeing what it will be like to investigate a criminal. I will also be taking tours of all the Durango Police Facilities including the Sheriffs Office, the PD and the Jail. I will be going to trials frequently to see the court system side of law, and how a trial works. I am super excited and can't wait until March.

Two Days Left! 3/27/12

Today was a very productive day.  I worked on my project some more and got some great ideas to towards what else to add to my presentation for exhibition.  I will be presenting on a tri-fold board and will be displaying a lot of pie charts.  I also came up with the idea of creating a mock case file.  Since I can’t display any names of real people in the system I chose to do someone everyone should know: Nicolas Cage.  Through clever copying, white out and scanning I was able to start on a fake case file for all those going to my exhibition to rifle through.  I think this will be a great learning experience for anyone who reads the case file since I am constructing it exactly like a real one would be constructed.  I wrote an incident report written by my Sheriff persona depicting cage being charged with underage consumption of alcohol.  I will be placing it in a real file from the office, blank of course, and adding the, case summary, incident report, sentencing report, and some other items.  Since 75% of a case file is BS nonsense I am strictly adding what you need to know to understand the case.
