Uniform inspections are conducted weekly. Academic subjects are taught in a standard classroom setting and appropriate examinations are administered to insure comprehension of the subject matter. As training progresses, role playing and practical field exercises are introduced. Click the button at the right for the expanded course outline. Cadets are trained and re-trained in each area and evaluated in practical application.
Special emphasis is placed on skill and officer safety.
This includes group runs in distances of up to five miles and circuit training which includes push ups, abdominal crunches, leg raises and pull ups. Cadets will be trained to effectively run through a course of various obstacles including hills, chain link fences and six-foot solid wood and concrete walls. They are partnered with other cadets and dispatched to calls in the field. They are required to analyze each call and initiate the appropriate enforcement action necessary to solve the problem. Most calls will put the cadets under stress to make quick and logical decisions.
