FOURTEEN YEAR OLDS INTERESTED IN LAW RELATED CAREERS PARTICIPATE IN POLICE PROGRAMS WHICH PROVIDE EDUCATION AND TRAINING REGARDING POLICE FUNCTIONS AND DUTIES.
Abstract
HOWEVER, THESE PROGRAMS GO MUCH FURTHER THAN TO EXPLAIN AND DEFINE THE AREAS OF POLICE RESPONSIBILITY AND DUTY. EACH CADET IS SCHEDULED TO WORK A REGULAR SHIFT AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. WHILE ON DUTY, HE IS REQUIRED TO OPERATE RADIO EQUIPMENT AND TO ANSWER TELEPHONE MESSAGES OF A NONPRIORITY NATURE. HE MUST ALSO PERFORM NON-CLASSIFIED FILING, TELETYPE DISTRIBUTION AND FILING, AND OTHER ESSENTIAL CLERICAL ASSIGNMENTS. DURING THIS PERIOD HE IS UNDER THE DIRECT SUPERVISION OF THE DEPUTIES ON DUTY.
