Volunteer Police Cadets are recognised throughout the UK. The purpose of Volunteer Police Cadets is to encourage the spirit of adventure and good citizenship amongst its members. Every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background. Young people from all backgrounds are encouraged to join Police Cadets, including those who may be vulnerable to the influences of crime and social exclusion.

The Volunteer Police Cadet Leader will promote positive community engagement by working with, leading and inspiring Police Cadets to become good citizens and build their confidence as they become young adults.
