Public Safety Cadets Unit #9647<\/b><\/p>\n

The City of Fond du Lac is the proud host of Public Safety Cadets Unit #9647.  The Cadets Unit is a joint effort between the City of Fond du Lac Police Department and the Public Safety Cadets organization. The program is intended to give youth\/young adults from ages 14-20, that have graduated 8th grade, the opportunity to explore law enforcement as a possible career choice.<\/p>\n

The Cadets Unit meets once or twice a month in the evening hours. During these monthly meetings, Cadets will receive hands-on training from FDLPD Officers in areas such as handcuffing, crime scene investigations, evidence handling, emergency vehicle operation, active threat response, traffic stops, and more.<\/p>\n

Cadets, over age 18, are invited to participate in the FDLPD Ride Along program. In this program, Cadets will ride along with an Officer for a portion of their shift and get to see what it is like to be a Police Officer.<\/p>\n

The Cadets Unit sometimes assists the FDLPD with various community events like parades, fireworks, and Walleye Weekend to mention a few. Cadets wear uniforms that are issued by the Unit and a duty belt with various pieces of equipment for meetings and events.<\/p>\n

The Cadets Unit also participates in various competitions held throughout the state in events such as vehicle contacts, shoot\/don\u2019t shoot, traffic stops, crime scene investigations and physical agility.<\/p>\n
