The first step to joining the cadet program, is to fill out an application that can be obtained at the Police Department, and provide a current copy of their most recent report card. Once an applicant is accepted into the Cadet program, they receive the basic training needed to further their interests, or their career in a Law Enforcement field. Training consists of officer safety, defensive tactics, report writing, tactical responses, radio training, call taking, traffic control, and many other areas of Law Enforcement training. Cadets volunteer their time to the Ukiah Police Department and to the community by riding along with full time police officers, assisting dispatchers in the communications center, providing traffic control for local events, assisting UPD Officers with tasks around the Police Department and much more.
