An open evening for teenagers who want to become a police cadet will be held at Wootton Hall next month.
The evening will be held on Thursday, March 21, at 7pm at Police Headquarters.
Yvonne Mason, the cadet leader, said: “There are many benefits of becoming a cadet, from making new friends and building confidence to developing valuable skills and making a real difference in the community.”
Police and Crime Commissioner Adam Simmonds said: “The cadet scheme is an excellent way in which young people can get involved in helping to make Northamptonshire a safer place.
“I have met many cadets over the past few months and been very impressed with them and with the cadet scheme.
“Currently I am working on plans which will see the cadet scheme substantially expanded to add greater involvement and presence right across the county.”
The Police Cadet scheme is for young people aged between 16 and 19. Those joining must be 16 at the start of the academic year and must achieve a GCSE Grade C or above in English.
