About Police Cadets
Norfolk Volunteer Police Cadets is a Uniformed Youth Organisation that engages with young people between 13-17 years old who live in Norfolk. Cadets are an important part of the extended police family and as a Cadet you can expect to learn a basic knowledge of policing activity and help progress current policing campaigns in the local community.
Cadets will assist with local and countywide community events, patrol with Safer Neighbourhood Teams and will visit various departments within Norfolk Constabulary.
We follow the National VPC aims which are the following:
- Making a difference in local communities, building character, confidence and contribution through youth-led social action.
- Actively helping divert young people away from negative influences and crime.
- Building trust and confidence between young people, their communities and the police.
- Enabling young people to have a real voice and influence in building positive, relevant 21st century policing.
