Sheriff's Office Cadet Program

Are you interested in a career in public safety? If you are age 14 – 20, you may be eligible to become a Sheriff Cadet! Being a cadet is both demanding and rewarding.

Many of our cadets have already grown into careers as police officers, military, and other government service fields.
