Trafford Cadets Passing Out Parade
Monday, 8 May 2017, saw the passing out parade of the latest Trafford group of Greater Manchester Police’s Volunteer Cadets. The ceremony took place at Trafford Town Hall.
Chief Superintendent Wayne Miller, Special Constabulary Chief Officer Mike Walmsley, and Inspector Stewart Smith attended the event along with friends and families of the cadets.
The Greater Manchester Police Cadet Scheme has been running since 2012 and cadet units have been established across the region.
The aims of the scheme include:
•Promoting and encouraging a practical interest in policing among young people,
•Providing training which will encourage positive leadership within communities which will include volunteering opportunities,
•Encouraging a spirit of adventure and developing qualities of leadership and good citizenship. Cadets will be given the opportunity to obtain a Duke of Edinburgh Award, First Aid qualification etc.
Cadets units are based in areas where there is currently little to occupy local youngsters.
Volunteers have to apply, stating their reasons for wanting to be part of the scheme and are encouraged to remain with the scheme for as long as they can.
On reaching the end of their time as a cadet, they are given advice on careers and business, help with CVs and information about any opportunities to remain with the Force.
The scheme's team leaders are also volunteers and include schools based officers, PCSOs, special constables and university students, all contributing their own time to run each cadet night.
