Fall Interns begin at the Storefront

We have at least 10 new interns from Century College's Law Enforcement program putting in hours at the Police Storefront - the District Council's co-habitant at the SunRay office. The students are future police officers, corrections or probation officers.

These students are in the "Police and the Community" class, a class that requires 40 hours of volunteer activity at a community organization. This collaboration allows us to have more hours that the office is open, and gives the students a chance to meet with police officers and talk to community members about their concerns. They answer phones, meet with folks walking in, and refer people to the proper resources. They free up our regular staff for other projects as well.

The Saint Paul Police Storefront is a joint project of the District 1 Community Council and the Saint Paul Police Department. You can reach the Storefront by calling 651.578.7400.

Welcome to our interns and THANK YOU for your service!!
