During her internship with Mount Airy Police Department, Emma Brady participated in activities within various divisions, ranging from forensics services to special operations. In each division, she learned about the key aspects of the particular job and its role in the criminal justice system. She was able to observe and contribute to community events and attend training specifically designed to enhance community-policing strategies. Emma commented, “Mount Airy Police Department aims to promote the quality of life for our citizens through integrity, loyalty, and the professionalism of the department as a whole. This was clearly evident through my internship. I experienced ride alongs with patrol officers and was able to watch the detectives execute search warrants. I attended the citizens police academy led by our community service division and furthered my education on the inner workings of a police department. Professionally, this department helped me further develop the application of my education to my career."
