Internship Program

The Kansas Highway Patrol Internship Program provides college students and those transitioning out of the military an opportunity to obtain on-the-job experience while working closely with State Troopers and other KHP personnel in all realms of law enforcement.

The Kansas Highway Patrol sets very high standards for its employees, and this standard is expected of any intern as well. Minimum standards will be reviewed, including but not limited to the following criteria for internship consideration:

Minimum Standards:

  • U.S. Citizen
  • Minimum of 18 years of age
  • Valid Driver’s License
  • No Juvenile or adult criminal arrests or convictions
  • Have Operating telephone service (either residential or cellular)
  • Current Email account for electronic correspondence.
  • Must be for college credit or DoD Skillbridge
    • College students must have completed a minimum of one year at an accredited college or University
      • minimum 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale

In addition to these minimum standards, each student must submit to a background investigation as well as being fingerprinted on a criminal history card.
