Sorry, we are not recruiting for Wiltshire Police Cadets at the present time.
We currently have four Cadet units in Wiltshire operating in Chippenham, Salisbury, Swindon and Trowbridge.
To be able to join the Wiltshire Police Volunteer Cadet Scheme an individual must:
Please note that places on the scheme are not guaranteed and that all applications are subject to a selection panel. The cadet scheme is very popular and there are usually more applicants than there are vacancies so some candidates may be disappointed.
Cadets volunteer at community events and initiatives alongside our officers and members of the Special Constabulary. Cadets have supported a number of high-profile events including Solstice, WOMAD, Swindon Pride and the Emergency Services Show.
Cadets also helping our Community Policing Teams by dropping leaflets, attending community safety events and carrying out street surveys.
You will be trained in a variety of skills before becoming involved in community work, including learning including how to use radios, first aid, using personal protective equipment, health and safety and the foundations of law.
We also give our cadets an insight into other operational areas of policing such as the Dog Section, Armed Response Group and Air Support Unit.
