Learn new skills

Becoming a volunteer police cadet will provide you with the opportunity to learn new skills and develop positive relationships with our partner agencies and local communities, while being an ambassador for Humberside Police.

Humberside Police cadets have completed first aid courses, taken part in team building challenges and learnt all about different areas of policing - from crime scene investigation to riot training to understanding how to support the most vulnerable people in our communities.

We recognise that young people have an important part to play within their local community and the future of the police service. We are therefore committed to engaging with young people all over our force to make sure they have the opportunity to lead rewarding and productive lives.

Through the volunteer police cadets we work to let the voices of young people in our communities be heard, helping to shape not only their futures but also our own.

We therefore aim to work with our cadets to give them the experiences that will benefit them in the future whether that is within policing or wherever their future will take them. A number of cadets have gone on to become police officers, special constables, members of staff and volunteer cadet leaders.

Be sure to follow @HP_LifestyleYET on Twitter to find out more about what our cadets get up to and see when applications are open.

The Volunteer Police Cadet scheme works with young people from the ages of 15–19 to help give them an understand of policing.

For any queries about the scheme, please contact the Community Safety Unit on 01472 721218 or email the cadets.
