State Police Troop K Cadet Post # 028 is looking for teens, ages 14 to 20 years old, interested in careers in the field of criminal justice or law enforcement.
The Cadet program is a leadership organization which emphasizes the development of responsibility and discipline.
Through the Cadet program, teens have received training in basic law enforcement skills, including crime scene processing, hand-cuffing procedures, evidence processing, training with the National Guard stationed at Camp Niantic, CPR, First Aid, firearms safety, military drills and a basic understanding of the law.
Cadets serve the community by assisting troopers with traffic control and security at local community events, such as fairs, concerts and toy drives.
They have competed in state-wide competitions against other Cadet Posts in events such as felony motor vehicle stops, evasive driving, search and control, and firearms training.
