The Village of Fort Plain Police Department is proud to partner with HFM BOCES to provide internship opportunities for students interested in law enforcement.

Through this program, students have the chance to observe an officer’s daily responsibilities firsthand and gain valuable insight into the profession. While participating, students are required to follow strict guidelines—especially when out on the street—ensuring their safety remains our top priority at all times.

We’re committed to supporting the next generation and giving them a meaningful, real-world look at what it means to serve and protect our community.

Good morning. It was nice to meet with Fort Plain High School Student Isis Hammond. Isis and Officer Rick Insogna stopped in the Village office yesterday to meet with the Mayor and the office staff.

Isis is doing an internship through the HFM Boces Criminal Justice program at the Fort Plain Police Department.

We wish Isis the best of luck with her internship.
This is yet another example of the school and the community working together to benefit our students.
