TODAY!!! 📢🚨📢🚨

Representatives from Ocean City, Maryland will be visiting our building. The Ocean City Police Department has been an excellent resource for several of our students, consistently providing high‑quality, paid summer internships for those interested in serving as Public Safety Officers. These positions support the Police Department during the seasonal tourist months.

Public Safety Officers serve as civilian support staff within the Patrol and Support Services Divisions. They are typically assigned to areas such as Arrest and Detention, Parking Enforcement, or general support for Patrol Operations. Students receive formal training and assistance in securing lodging for the summer.

For 2027, the hourly pay rate ranges from $20.14 to $21.15, and there are opportunities to earn additional bonuses for achieving various milestones throughout the summer employment period. In addition to employment, students are eligible to earn Internship credit.

Ocean City Police Department will be available to meet with students from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. We will have a table set up for the recruiters on the first floor of Merrill Hall.
