Police Cadet recruitment drive opens in Three Rivers

If you have ever wondered what it would be like to join the thin blue line you may yet get your chance. Young people who are interested in finding out more about becoming a volunteer Police Cadet in Three Rivers are being invited to attend a recruitment event. The event will be held at Rickmansworth Police Station on Tuesday, October 4, and will give potential new recruits a chance to find out more about the scheme and how they can make a difference to their community. Police Cadets, who are aged 14 to 18, get involved in a wide range of activities and events. As well as learning about police procedures and the law, cadets also play a vital role in community events, engaging with members of the public and educating them on crime prevention. The role of a cadet is extremely varied and members develop a wide range of skills while having fun helping the local community. Existing group members will be at the recruitment event and will be on hand to answer any questions. There will also be team building exercises to help give a flavour of what new members can expect. PC Marcus Zost, who co-runs the group, said: “Becoming a volunteer Police Cadet is a great way to make friends, boost confidence and learn new skills while also helping the local community at the same time.
