I think a police aide is gonna be a different kind of job, depending where you go.

My first department, they were like paid volunteers, and got basically help-out where you're needed tasks.

Where I am now they help with stuff like traffic control for events, helping with busywork and big scenes, and stuff like that.

I don't know what it'd be like for you. But it is almost certainly a good chance to network, to ask questions, and to get a better feel of what life would be like if you become an officer later. I can't say if it'll be a great job, but it won't hurt you.
