The Scottsdale Police Department Cadet program provides an opportunity for young men and women between the ages of 14 and 21 to work alongside, train with, and assist police personnel. The Cadets receive specialized law enforcement training, attend 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.

Cadets participate in many aspects of police work but are not placed in dangerous situations
