Sheriff's Cadet Summer Academy Taking ApplicationsSheriff's Cadet Summer Academy Taking Applications

6/12/14 - Applications are being accepted for a summer program that offers young adults an up-close glimpse into the world of law enforcement. The Livingston County Sheriff’s Department’s Cadet Academy is designed for mature young adults age 14 to 21 with a strong interest in law enforcement and will take place August 25th through the 29th. Cadets will be exposed to real life adult situations and criminal behavior, learn how to process a crime scene, prepare a case for a mock trial, go through a firearms simulator and experience a SWAT team demonstration. They’ll also hear presentations from police K-9 officers, the Drug Enforcement Administration, Livingston County Dive Team, Medical Examiner Investigator, 911 operations and Michigan State Police. At the completion of the week-long 40-hour academy, cadets will be eligible to join the Cadets Post, which meets regularly throughout the year and takes part in competitions against other posts to test their training and skills. For more information, contact Deputy Neff at 517-540-7984, bneff@livgov.com or go to the LCSD cadet web site through the link below. (JK)
