Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a police officer? Interested in a possible career in law enforcement? The Green Bay Police Department is now accepting applications for their Police Cadet Program. Candidates must be ages 14-21 and they meet 1-2 times per month in the evening. Cadets will get training on how to handle police calls such as disturbances, traffic stops, burglaries, traffic crashes and Crime Scene Investigation. Stop down in the main office to get an application or see Officer Younk or Officer Marquardt for more information.
