Who We Are

The Fairfield Police Cadet Program, is a program that helps inspire, develop and guide young people who have an interest in law enforcement and also want to give back to their community. Our program has been an integral part of Fairfield and the Police Department for over 40 years by enhancing public safety services within the community. Our dedicated cadets are driven by a commitment to public service and a desire to contribute positively to society.

This youth mentorship program provides educational training for young adults in various disciplines relating to leadership and public service. The program provides career orientation experiences, leadership opportunities, and community service activities. The primary goals of the Fairfield Police Cadet Program is to challenge young adults to become responsible citizens of their communities. Many of our alumni have continued to successfully achieve positions in local Law Enforcement, State Police Departments, as well as Federal appointments with Law Enforcement agencies throughout the country.

We are part of a larger organization, the North East Regional Law Enforcement Education Association (NERLEEA), which made up of other State and Local Police Departments throughout the tri-state area. The departments work together to create yearly events where all youth members compete, socialize, and form long lasting bonds that can continue into their adult lives.
Our weekly meetings include training on police duties, Forensic Science, Self Defense, K9 Demonstrations, Communication, Courtroom procedure, Investigation, Report Writing, Ethics, Firearm Safety, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Crisis Negotiation, Governmental Law, Emergency Management, Interview/Oral Board, Resume/Cover Letter writing, Building Searches, and more!

Our Mission

The Cadet program is an official program of the Fairfield Police Department, designed by North East Regional Law Enforcement Education Association, to expose young men and women (ages 14-21) to the vast career choices available in Law Enforcement today. Cadets learn in both the classroom and field environment, including actual "hands-on" field experience. We are committed to advancing, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, inclusion and belonging because it makes us a stronger, more successful organization, and because it directly aligns with our mission to help all youth learn about law enforcement and public service.
