Junior Cadet Program

Over the past 35 years, the Junior Cadet Program was overseen by many Police Officers. In more recent years, the program grew enormously. Junior Cadets, for the first time worked with Community Service Officers at the mall, at the Crime Prevention Fair, National Night Out, Stockton Police K-9 Trials, San Joaquin County Fair, Stockton Asparagus Festival, Waterfest, Cinco de Mayo parade, and First Night.

As the Stockton Police Department adopted Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS), we recognized the need to continue our commitment to local youth. We felt we could accomplish this by forming a direct line of communication between the Stockton Police Department and the youth of our community by recruiting more youth into the Junior Cadet Program. This program ultimately shapes kids into potential Police Officers and helps them develop responsibility, trust, teamwork, and other leadership characteristics.

 

 

Qualifications for joining the Junior Cadet Program include the following:

  • Must be 14 to 18 years of age.
  • Must maintain a 2.0 grade-point average.
  • Must have no serious criminal history.
  • Must successfully complete the Junior Cadet Academy
