Sixteen Gloucester County high school students to intern at Prosecutor’s Office

Press release from Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office

As adults, they may never wear a badge or gun or question witnesses in a courtroom, but 16 Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office summer interns are getting a close-up look at the jobs of the criminal justice system for the next month.

The high school students will undergo physical training, learn about car stops and narcotics investigations, then get even more physical training and marching drills, much like recruits do at the Gloucester County Police Academy.

After two weeks, that also include instruction in hand-to-hand combat, simulated firearms training and functions of the SWAT team, the interns move to the offices of the GCPO. Here they’ll learn about the evidence-gathering work of the office’s crime scene unit. Assistant prosecutors and detectives will brief them about victim’s rights, Megan’s Law, juvenile law, high-tech crime investigations and how to conduct a criminal trial. On August 8, they’ll try it themselves. Interns will play the roles of prosecutors, defense attorneys and witnesses in a mock trial.
