Meet police officers, talk on a police radio, learn criminal and motor vehicle laws, investigate a crime scene, collect evidence, conduct motor vehicle stops, see the inside of a real jail and more. In past years, field trips have also been planned.

Cadets will be chosen on a first-come first serve basis and class size is limited to 25 cadets. Returning cadets will not automatically receive preference over new applicants.
