The Knoxville Police Department created the Police Cadet Program to
enhance the recruitment of potential applicants for Police Officer
who are between the ages of eighteen (18) and twenty-one (21).
The Police Cadet Program is an alternative for those applicants who
are not old enough to be employed as Police Officers, yet wish to
pursue a career in law enforcement. The program will allow such candidates
to be employed in non-enforcement activities, while receiving law
enforcement training and attending college under the City of Knoxville’s
tuition reimbursement program.
The appointment to the Cadet Program will be made for a minimum of
one (1) year to a maximum of four (4) years, depending upon the age
of the Cadet. Upon successful completion of the Cadet Program, the
cadet will be eligible for employment as a Police Officer. The Cadet
Program requires completion of 12 Semester College hours per year
with a minimum grade point average of 2.0.
The Cadets have various assignments within the Knoxville Police
Department:
Bicycle Patrols
Parking enforcement/traffic direction at special events
Recruitment
Sobriety Checkpoints
Underage Alcohol Buys
Safety Demonstrations
Assist Patrol with various assignments |
