Hello,

When I wanted to do a similar thing, I went to the local county district attorney's office and spoke with the head investigator there. Use some ***** and take the initiative. Go to the police station and tell them you are a high school senior looking for an internship. Ask the front desk people who you need to talk to about that. Talk to that person. Be dressed well (ie, business interview type clothing, for your first meeting) and have a nice folder with you (I used a leather folder that had a pad of paper in it and that's it). Have your resume with you - a one pager showing positions of responsibility you've had, either in work or in school related activities. Doesn't have to be impressive, you're only in high school.

I've found that when you present your case well and with confidence, you can go whereever you want. I had the lowest GPA and least experience of any of the attorneys at the large firm I worked at (same pay!), I was the first fully paid 1st year (law student) legal intern working for the US Attorney's Office. During the OJ trial, I made my case to the local District Attorney's office (I was a genetics major at the time) and convinced them that they needed me there to offer "debriefings" to go over the daily trial scientific evidence. Etc etc etc. Confidence gets you whereever you want.
