There is just over a week left before applications close for the next cohort of police cadets.
The programme brings young people together to learn new skills and gain a unique insight into policing.
Open to anyone currently in year 11 and aged 15 or 16, the police cadets is a great opportunity to build confidence and make a meaningful contribution to local communities.
If successful in their application, they’ll get a chance to:
· Support our officers at community and high-profile events
· Assist with crime prevention initiatives and public engagement opportunities
· Hear from insightful guest speakers
· Attend unique team-building experiences and adventure days
· Participate in social action activities helping to address local issues and support vulnerable members of the public
· Take part in supervised test purchase operations
· Join in major emergency training exercises and acting as casualties or witnesses in scenario-based training
While the programme is an amazing first step into a police-led career, the experiences and lessons to be gained can be applied to all industries and will be a fantastic addition on any CV.
The programme for new recruits starts in September this year and you have until 31 March to apply.
If you know someone who could be a good fit, whether a family member, neighbour, or a group of young people connected to your community, encourage them to consider applying.
