Bethany Beach Police Department Summer 2025 Internship

Posted on by

The Bethany Beach Police Department is still taking applications for summer 2025 Seasonal Police Officers. Every year, this agency hires approximately 17 young men and women who want to gain hands-on experience as police officers. These individuals perform basic law enforcement duties under supervision during the summer months (May-Sept).  While doing so, the agency mentors them, trains them and works with them to gain internship requirements if needed. In return, their employment helps the town provide more boots on the ground for the safety of visitors and residents during the summer beach season.
