Junior Cadet Program Over the past 35 years, the Junior Cadet Program was overseen by many Police Officers. In more recent years, the program grew enormously. Junior Cadets, for the first time worked with Community Service Officers at the mall, at the Crime Prevention Fair, National Night Out, Stockton Police K-9 Trials, San Joaquin County Fair, Stockton Asparagus Festival, Waterfest, Cinco de Mayo parade, and First Night. As
the Stockton Police Department adopted Community Oriented Policing
and Problem Solving (COPPS), we recognized the need to continue our
commitment to local youth. We felt we could accomplish this by forming
a direct line of communication between the Stockton Police Department
and the youth of our community by recruiting more youth into
the Junior Cadet Program. This program ultimately shapes kids into
potential Police Officers and helps them develop responsibility,
trust, teamwork, and other leadership characteristics.
Qualifications for joining the Junior Cadet Program include the following:
