The Hialeah Police Cadet Program is part of the Boy Scouts of America, Law Enforcement Exploring Program. Teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18 who are interested in the field of Law Enforcement and attend regular weekly meetings at the Police Department Training Bureau. The meetings are held on Wednesday evenings between 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Curriculum topics emphasize Law Enforcement information, hands-on practices, communication skills, defensive tactics and various life saving skill classes. Great emphasis is placed on personality, character and spiritual development.

Cadets must perform Community Service and attend an 80 hour Explorer Academy, usually held at our Police Department. After meeting certain requirements, Cadets may try out for elite teams, such as Drill, Competition, and or Shooting teams. Applicants must have a "C" or better grade point average to apply.

Good Fun! Great Friends! A terrific opportunity to "soar" through your teenage years. Contact the Hialeah Police Department, Lieutenant George Fuente at (305) 953-0056 or email us at Cadets@HialeahFl.Gov.
