Are you in Year 11? Are you interested in a career with the police?
Warwickshire Police & West Mercia Police Cadets is a two-year volunteer scheme for young people that offers an opportunity to gain a practical understanding of policing and develop a spirit of adventure and good citizenship.
Cadets support local policing through volunteering, working with partner agencies and positive participation in their communities. They take part in a variety of activities including self-defence training, marching, fitness, team building, role playing and Outward Bound events.
Cadets can gain an insight into police life through talks by guest speakers from different departments and agencies and by taking part in local community policing events.
In return you are asked to commit to the weekly meetings and to give 15 hours of voluntary work per quarter. Meetings will take place every Thursday between 6pm and 9pm at Warwickshire College in Leamington.
The scheme is open for applications now for Year 11 students. The closing date is 28th February. If you are selected you will start as a cadet in September 2017 alongside sixth form, college or an apprenticeship.
