' m “Since the computer, many offices such as probation or county attorney may request information from the sher- iff, Frink said. In the road patrol division, Frink worked with radar and speed control in pursuing speeding vehicles and arrest- ing the violator. “Road patrol is probably the most valuable area to the intern because it covers everything in the department, Jensen said. Other areas covered were some principles of investigation, working with past case histories, assisting with court questions. Frink even got involved with an autopsy which involved taking some pictures which were pretty gruesome at certain points, he said. “From work done with firearms in investigations, one can determine from blood splattering what direction the bul- let came from and what type of gun was used,” Frink said. All of these are helpful in investigations. Civil processing in- volved warrants for escaped prisoners or arresting a person on existing charges. ' The area that gave me the most ex- perience was corrections, Frink said. Corrections in Buffalo County deal with men, women and juveniles. The law en- forcement intern said, “Much of my work was done in corrections with stan- dard operating procedures. Corrections work also gave Frink experience in medical procedures and food service. In the kitchen Frink worked with Mary Reynolds, kitchen supervisor, in distributing each meal to inmates. Each inmate gets a specific amount. “I start by making out a menu every five weeks and coordinating it with a code which works with finding the aver- age weight, height and age of an inmate. Then this information is sent to the Buf- falo County Extension Office where it is read into a computer in Lincoln. A printout is sent back telling the amounts of protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A and C needed, Reynolds said. This process usually takes from three to five days to complete. “From these I am told if I am short in a nutrition area — usually vitamin A which includes vegetables and riboflavin, Reynolds said. Food is then purchased from local wholesalers. Dineen quizzes Frink on how to dispatch calls to units of the sheriffs office regarding activity moving through the county. Frink said, It is a good and effec- tive experience to expose you to many of the specialties of the department, in- cluding fingerprinting, weapon analysis and crime re-creation. Dineen said, “The experience gives the full scope of law enforcement — from a motel manager to a restaurant manager — plus the work of a sheriff. Buffalo County has had 12 interns through the program and currently two on staff. “Each year since 1979 we have tak- en one intern in the sheriffs office and one in the corrections department, Di- neen said. “Brown is very instrumental in choosing which interns will partici- pate. Frink said, “Law enforcement isn’t for you if you have an identity crisis, but it can really build your character. Dineen, Frink and Brown agreed that the officers are one large group down there — they work together and play together. If a problem comes up all are ready to help a fellow officer. I would like to get a job in the FBI, U.S. Marshals or CIA and possibly make a different impact on society, Frink said. He is currently working part time as a Campus Security officer at KSC. Dineen instructs Frink on Standard Operating Proce- dures in corrections.

s TUDENTS Internship gives full outlook on la w enforcement Attention! Attention! Calling all cars! There is a high speed chase going through western Buffalo County. The suspect is driving a dark red, late model Chevrolet Impala with Utah license plates and may be danger- ous. All units responding, please identify yourself. Dispatching calls to other units was just one of the areas that Dan Frink cov- ered in his internship through the crimi- nal justice department at KSC. Frink’s internship consisted of 400 hours with the Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office during the summer months in Kearney. The internship program is open to anyone who is at least a junior. “The criminal justice department hopes that with the cooperation of the local department that the student doing the internship may see as much of the department as possible,” said Dennis Brown of the KSC criminal justice de- partment. “We have participated as far as I know since 1979 in the intern program at KSC and it has been a very good suc- cess,” said Frank Dineen, Buffalo Coun- ty sheriff. Frink asked the Buffalo County sheriff’s office if he would be able to do his internship there. The KSC junior ma- joring in criminal justice said, “I wanted to enter in a field where I could get some knowledge of my possible major.” A regular interview process was done with a resume, informal interview and a for- mal interview with the sheriff. by Charles McGraw The intern’s first step in starting the job was setting up a daily log and finding out how much time to give each depart- ment. “I set the goals I would like to achieve and then a training officer was assigned to work with me,” Frink said. Brown agreed that internship combines the theoretical with practical. Frink’s routine rotated from depart- ment to department for 10 weeks. The departments serving as learning areas for Frink were road patrol, civil process- ing, warrants, corrections, communica- tion, food service and medicine. Steve Jensen, a deputy sheriff who worked with Frink, said, “The intern pro- gram will tell someone if he has a doubt about the criminal justice field.” Dispatching adds to the depth of the program. “By dispatching calls to depu- ties through radios and monitoring local and out-of-state radio frequencies, I am able to alert the department of a chase or activity moving through the county,” Frink said. Dispatching also involved paging doctors and lawyers in the event of an emergency. Frink, Dineen and Reynolds review a computer printout from UNL that helps pinpoint nutritional deficiencies in the plan for inmate meals.
