Cadet Program Overview
MCSO CADET PROGRAM
As a Cadet, young adults have the opportunity to assist the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. Cadets can broaden their understanding and firsthand knowledge of the challenges and job skills that make up their community’s law enforcement service. In addition to gaining a working knowledge of police work, the participants have the opportunity to give of themselves to the community. Cadets are volunteers and do not serve as county employees, sworn or civilian.
The Cadets receive specialized law enforcement training, attend Bi-weekly meetings and volunteer to perform important community services. Along the way, they learn to work as a team, they gain leadership skills, and they serve the community.
The Cadet Program instills ethical development for those who may be interested in a law enforcement career.
