So I was finally able to start my internship last week and let me tell you it is a lot of work. Within just two days I learned how to read police reports, input them into a database and started memorizing crime codes of what incidents happen. Now I am pretty confined by confidentiality rights but I'm sure you can think of a few things that come to mind when I say, "We help to serve those who are victims of a violent crime". You can only imagine what kind of stories of victims I have read. They range from mild to "Oh my gosh, this is painful to read". It's not like I wasn't blinded from the fact that it happens just actually reading reports about people that it happened to, well it's an eye opener. It's both equally sad and interesting. I like the fact that I might be able to actually help victims get some justice from something they had no control over. I've been opened up to so many more opportunities and I can't wait to see what's in store for me the rest of the summer.
