Cadets
As a Cadet, you'll dip your toe into the world of policing. During this program you'll gain real insights and experience into life with the WA Police Force, all while being mentored and supported along the way.
What's the difference between a police officer and a cadet?
Police Officers, unlike Cadets, have powers to make arrests and are permitted to carry weapons. Cadets primarily assist Police Officers in their day-to-day duties. Joining the Cadet Program can be the start of your policing journey, providing invaluable insights and experience.
