Police Officer Cadet Program

Most new police officers work in general duty in patrol divisions, which provides a broad range of experiences and assignments. General duty policing involves patrolling assigned areas to enforce laws, protect public safety, and arrest criminal suspects—either by car, foot, bicycle, or in some cases, horse.
