The Cadet Program currently has an On-Going Enrollment process. Anyone between the ages of 14 - 20 that live in the surrounding area may apply. You may be asking yourself this very question right now. An Ulster Police Cadet performs a variety of duties and activities. General training is held each Saturday and teaches the cadets about the law enforcement arena.
Training is structured similar to that of an actually police academy.
There is class room, defensive tactics, Penal Law, Criminal Procedure Law, situational and physical fitness training. Cadets can expect to help officers with certain tasks such as assisting with arrest paperwork, working the police desk and computer entry. The Ulster Police Cadets are often in the public eye, therefore there are strict rules and regulations that must be adhered to. If you are planning on a career in law enforcement and are interested in applying, please feel free to submit your contact information to the Cadet Director Sergeant Matthew Taggard . An application does not necessarily constitute acceptance to the Cadet Program.
