MARTA Police offers an internship program for students in undergraduate, graduate and law school programs. This program aims to give students the opportunity to gain practical experience in law enforcement. Students participate in a quasi-training program that takes them through each of MARTA Police's service areas. And, when possible, students are assigned to work on specific projects that are tailored to their specific areas of interest.
