Are you eligible to be a police cadet?

We welcome cadets from any background and actively encourage young people who may feel disadvantaged through crime or social exclusion to apply to join.

We will ensure all members can reach their full potential and will work with you and your family/others to see what adjustments we can make to help support you.
