They were able to come back with 2 first-place trophies; one in high-risk traffic stops, and the other in conflict resolution.
Along with these awards, the Post also was given a $600 prize due to these winnings ($300 per first place). The 4 cadets who compete in the State conference will be able to receive this money once in college, and it will be used to help them purchase textbooks to further their law enforcement career.
According to the Hartford Police Cadet Post page, “The Cadet Program gives the participant an opportunity to learn about law enforcement from a different perspective, learn about local government and its functions, and assess it as a possible career choice. Cadets train in hands-on scenarios that officers respond to, participate in training competitions against other youth programs, and volunteer at area and regional events. The Police Cadet Unit will also assist our officers with traffic control at special events and parades.”
