Teenagers are being offered the chance for a taste of what it’s like to serve in the police.
The Isle of Man Constabulary is seeking to recruit volunteer Police Cadets between the ages of 16-18.
It would start from September and the cadets would need to be willing to give up one evening a week at Lord Street Police Station in Douglas from 6pm to 8pm.
Cadets will be taught about the law, police procedures, drill, first aid and also learn about some of the specialist units within the police.
To get an application form for becoming a cadet email michael.griffiths@gov.im or write to Constable Michael Griffiths, Police Cadet co-ordinator, Douglas Police Headquarters, Glencrutchery Road, Douglas.
Constable Griffiths said: ‘This exciting new role will be similar in nature to the other cadet schemes operating in the island.
‘Cadets will gain an insight into the Constabulary and the workings of the police service in a co-ordinated and safe way.
‘This presents unique opportunity for young people to work in structured environment and gain life skills at the same time.’
