The Missoula County Sheriff's
Cadet
program has three main themes that any goals and objectives
must provide for. These are:
A.To further the Cadet's education.
B. To encourage Cadet's participation in a rewarding and productive service activity.
C. To enhance the Cadet's preparation for future roles as citizens, community members, leaders, and future law enforcement officers.
Goals and objectives:
To serve as a potential recruitment tool for future men and women in law enforcment:
The law enforcement Cadet program will further the Cadet's education by providing the members with a basic knowledge of the field of law enforcement. Members must receive instructions in all phases of law enforcement including criminal law, traffic law, criminal investigation, crime prevention, traffic control and direction, accident investigation, juvenile delinquency and other related fields which are integral parts of law enforcement.
To Serve as a community relations effort between Sheriff officers and youth, and between youth and the community:
The Sheriff's Cadet program brings the Cadet into direct contact with the "sheriff's officer" on a one-to-one basis through its meetings, details, social functions, and ride-along program. Cadets are given the responsibility and respect they demand. In turn they can make their public service felt among members of the community, especially members in their age bracket.
To be utilized as a service group within the community:
Frequently community organizations call upon the Cadets to assist with security, crowd control, traffic direction, drug resistance education programs, etc. Community services are strongly encouraged. Cadets are not to be used in assignments requiring police authority, but are used to assist the community under the direction and supervision of the officers.
Potential use as suplemental manpower:
Although Cadets are not used in place of law enforcement personel, they can supplement them. Cadets can free officers to concentrate on the most important aspects of their job. utilizing Sheriff's Cadets to their full potential can bring savings in manpower to the department. Qualified members can also participate in the Ride-along program, a privilege of membership allows for on site understanding of law enforcement at the street.
