Does anyone know any places that are hiring seasonal police officers, or any big police department that pay summer interns. Ive already checked Ocean City Maryland.

You might want to narrow down your question to where you're actually able to commute to. I assume since you also asked about internships that you're a college student, so I also assume you're not able to go anywhere in the U.S. for a seasonal or intern job.

im from Pennsylvania, so anywhere on the east coast, like delaware, new jersey, new york, maryland, virginia. and yes i am a college student whos struggling to find places to get an internship.
Even if local departments don't have an official internship program, I would still inquire about working there as an intern. Departments are so strapped and understaffed, I'm sure they'd be happy to take you on, especially if you are willing to work just for the experience. Good luck!

The National Park Service hires seasonal LE, but you have to go to an approved seasonal academy first. There's one in Slippery Rock, PA. You can find more info here: Seasonal Law Enforcement Programs - National Park Rangers (http://www.anpr.org/academies.htm)
