Hello it’s greatly appreciated if you take the time to read this. I want to get into law enforcement as soon as I turn of age (21) in my area. Although I understand that I need some knowledge of how law works or at least somewhat a foot on the door to understand it, I wouldn’t want to straight up step into patrol. I have applied to jobs where no experience is needed and I’m of age for but I got a non selected letter from one after my background application and no calls from like 2 other jobs. I don’t understand if other people have been hired that i know of and have absolutely no job experience. What internships or volunteer programs may you guys suggest so i can fill up my resume. I have also passed the age limit to get into the explorer program which I know would’ve been greatly beneficial. Maybe my timing isn’t right now but I’d want to make the most out of this time. I am also in school for my associates degree in business administration estimated to graduate 2026.
Suggestions or Tips?

I would possibly keep checking if any courts have clerk spots open, sometimes they are paid as well so that would be nice. Im only 21 and just graduated the academy sponsored by a PD and am now in FTO. I had no relevant experience but have been working since i was 16, but they are biggest PD in my state and need people so ill be honest they will hire most people if they dont have anything concerning in their background so you could possibly try doing something similar, just my thought.
