Columbus police looking for high school students as cadets

Columbus police are looking for high school students to take part in the agency’s cadet program.

According to police, those chosen for the program will have the opportunity to take ridealongs with Columbus officers on patrol, volunteer and perform community service, build their leadership skills and potentially have a pathway to a career with the Columbus Police Department.

In order to take part, high school students who will be sophomores, juniors or seniors this fall must have a minimum GPA of 2.5. They will need to have a clean juvenile record and be able to attend the entire cadet academy this summer. That will be June 8th through the 11th.

The deadline to apply is May 11th. You can find more information and sign up here: https://www.columbus.in.gov/police/info-documents/cadet-program/
