Intern's Insight- New Blog Series

We at DPS are rather proud of the work we do, but have come to the shocking realization over the years that the average citizen has limited knowledge as to what that work is. While we do a lot to try to inform the public on what we do, prepare for shocking fact number two, we aren’t always the best at telling our own story. We tend talk too technical, use too many acronyms (we LOVE acronyms, too much), and tend to leave out important items, because we assume people are already aware! With all of that said we’ve decided to try a new approach to telling our story, and with that we introduce to you the Intern Insight Series on our blog.

We couldn’t very well take a stranger off of the street and ask them to hang out with us for a few weeks and blog about, so we did the next best thing…we’ve tasked our intern with telling our story through his eyes. Our new intern has come to us with very little knowledge about what we do. All he knows is that his college advisor, Professor Sam Morgan told him this would be a great place to get some experience. Chris will be blogging with us for the next few weeks and will be telling you all of the neat and surprising things he learns! Hopefully our readers and Chris come away from this blogging experiment with a better understanding of DPS!

Before we post Chris’s first blog, we’d like to tell you a little bit about him. Chris comes to us as a senior with Central Penn College here in Cumberland County. He is a Homeland Security Management Major and hails New Jersey. He has an interest in law enforcement and once spent 8 weeks living in Croatia and traveling around Europe as part of a student emersion program! Those are the random facts folks. We’ll be posting Chris’s first blog later today!

*The DPS intern program is available to those interested in a career in emergency services, emergency management or homeland security. Those wishing to intern with DPS must be enrolled in a post-secondary program. DPS would like to thank Central Penn College for working with us to provide cultivating intern program for students in their Homeland Security Management Program.
