Cadet Camp 2019
Greater Manchester Police Volunteer Police Cadets attended their annual summer camp between Sunday 18 and Wednesday 21 of August at Condover Hall in Shropshire.
The event featured three days of team building and development exercises followed by the annual GMP Cadet competition.
The final afternoon saw a parade, inspection and prize giving.
The Lord-Lieutenant of Greater Manchester, Mr Warren J. Smith was guest of honour.
Greater Manchester Police’s Chief Constable Ian Hopkins QPM led the inspection and prize giving, accompanied by Assistant Chief Constable Martin Evans of West Mercia Police.
The Greater Manchester Police Volunteer Cadets were founded in 2012.
The scheme is aimed at 13- 17 year-olds and provides a programme of weekly Cadet nights filled with activity, information and – hopefully – some fun.
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.
