The Maryland State Police are on the lookout for the next generation of leaders in law enforcement. They offer a unique opportunity for high school and early college students to glimpse this career path. Their annual Leadership and Career Development Seminar, scheduled for July 24-27, is now accepting applications, as announced in a recent release. The seminar, designed to engage young talent interested in both sworn and civilian roles, will be a comprehensive four-day event at the Maryland State Police Training Academy in Sykesville.
High school juniors, seniors, and incoming college freshmen have a chance to experience firsthand the multifaceted aspects of the state police force - emergency communications, fitness, defensive tactics, and aviation, to name a few. The event promises a diverse look into the work of troopers and civilian specialists across various units. While the deadline for application submissions remains open, the early birds have a better chance at snagging one of the coveted spots. Each county, including Baltimore City, has an opening for one representative, per the announcement.
Applicants with an eye on the seminar must showcase their interest in law enforcement through a video or essay submission. The experience assures comprehensive exposure, whether understanding the challenges of police communication or exploring the intricacies of digital forensics. According to the Maryland State Police release, the seminar is instrumental in identifying young talent and fostering a relationship with the community. Food and lodging during the seminar are also taken care of, easing the way for participants to focus on learning and networking.
