Public Safety Cadets

ADAPT AND OVERCOME

The Fairfax County Police Department’s Public Safety Cadet Program adapted to the challenges faced in 2020 and continue to safely educate and mentor cadets.

The three Public Safety Cadet Units have continued to hold virtual training for cadets to learn about a variety of law enforcement related topics. Transitioning to a virtual platform has allowed for the continuance of meetings to take place twice a month, educating and preparing our young community members of Fairfax County for their future careers.

The program held its first virtual recruiting event in October and welcomed a recruit class of 35 new Public Safety Cadets in 2020.
