Volunteer Police Cadets are young members of the community, aged between 13 and 19, that are involved in a wide range of activities and events. As well as learning about police procedures and the law, cadets also play a vital role in community events, engaging with members of the public and educating them on crime prevention.

The role of a Cadet is extremely varied and you will develop a wide range of skills while having fun and helping your local community. Cadets participate in many exciting outdoor activities such as; white-water rafting, weekend holidays, summer camps as well as assisting at community events and foot patrol at local events.

Cadet groups are led by Police Officers, PCSOs and volunteers who support young people in their development. Groups are open to all and you do not have to have ambitions to work within the police force.
