The Elizabethtown Police Cadet Program is a strong and growing part of our partnership between the youth of our community and the Elizabethtown Police Department. The purpose of the cadet program is to develop and maintain a positive relationship between police officers and young people by providing opportunities to participate in educational and recreational activities.

History: The Elizabethtown Police Explorer Post 454 began in 1991 and has evolved into the Elizabethtown Police Cadet Program. The program began as a way to provide career and leadership training to young people who are considering law enforcement and has developed into a substantial resource to the police department and the community. Several cadets have gone on to become police officers with EPD.

Structure: The Police Cadet Program is open to young men and women between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one. Positions of responsibility are assigned to the cadets based on competence and attendance. Department personnel known as advisors supervise the program. These advisors have the responsibility of maintaining discipline and ensuring that the program continues to be worthwhile in its efforts.

Meetings: The cadets have two meetings each month, which is normally held on the second and fourth Tuesdays between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. at the police department. The Cadets also meet at various times throughout the year to support community and police activities, ride with on-duty officers and participate in police-related training activities.

Listed below are some of the activities that the cadets participate in during the year:

• Citizens Police Academy
• Kentucky Special Olympics: Torch Run
• March of Dimes: Walk America
