The Verdugo Regional Crime Laboratory Forensic Science Internship Program (unpaid) provides an opportunity for interns to explore career options, acquire knowledge and skills complementary to academic studies, enhance professional development, and network with specialists in the forensic science community. Interns are required to maintain the house-keeping of the laboratories, assist analysts with assigned tasks and often times shadow forensic personnel at crime scenes or within a laboratory setting. Depending on skill level, interns may assist with evidence transfers, quality control duties, and/or validation studies.

Requirements:

• Minimum of 18 years of age.
• Students who are attending a college or university must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale and remain in good standing with their undergraduate or graduate degree program.
• Former students must have graduated with a minimum GPA of 3.0.
• Intern a minimum of 20 hours per week. Laboratory hours are from 7:30 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday (no weekends/holidays). Interns will find that the more hours that are dedicated at the forensic laboratory will result in a more in-depth and worthwhile experience.
• Successful completion of a comprehensive background check including a polygraph.
