The Antioch Police Department Cadet Program is a progressive and educational opportunity for young men and women between the ages of 14 and 21 who have an interest in learning about law enforcement. Our Cadets are afforded the opportunity to learn more about law enforcement, the criminal justice system, and the community in which they live. Cadets are required to volunteer at least 10 hours a month. They perform various tasks such as scene security, traffic control, safety presentations, tours of the police facility, community events, safety fairs, and many other law enforcement related tasks. Cadets are allowed to “ride along” with officers during their shift. The program is supervised by sworn personnel who offer insight into the exciting world of law enforcement.
The Cadets receive training each month in areas such as evidence collection, crime prevention, firearms, traffic control, community policing, and many other law enforcement related topics. Cadets also participate in a yearly competition against other police Cadet programs..
