Overall police are seen as harsh or intimidating even though they are society’s protector, also many stories about cops using excessive force are prominent in the media news. Even though I have witness an all of two officers acting in inappropriate manners I can say they were the minority of the group of officers there. Many of the officers displayed much control over their emotional states and told me that I should do the same and treat the inmates some in for serious crimes as regular people showing some hints of respect. This was a theme to many officers who regulated the pods within the jail most of them rarely spoke down to the inmates or in any harsh manner of the same nature. Uniquely both of these two themes were very prevalent within my internship and spiked my interest into further research about job satisfaction as well as the emotional labor in the police field.

It is no longer just about bravery, but about the ability to make complex, legal decisions in the midst of danger and chaos. Officers are now required to complete many hours of training regarding detention, arrest, search and seizure, emergency vehicle operations and defensive tactics. Officers are trained to investigate incidents involving domestic violence, sex offenses and crimes against children.
The tasks that I will be doing at the agency are intakes, exits, phone calls to clients, and filing. On my first week there one of the interns went over the days/times of the group meetings, how to call clients to make up classes, and looked over an intake form for domestic violence clients. This intern made me feel extremely comfortable by saying that I could go to her if I ever needed help with anything.

I found it very interesting that the interns are considered valuable (Loretto, 2017). Of course having a young intern in business full of mIllennials were the younger generation can help with what's new in our society now. However, I never thought them as completely valuable because majority of the time an intern is someone coming out of high school r college with little or not work experience. An intern is hired, yes to help, but mostly learn in the particular job field.
