The Path from Cambridge Police Cadet to Cambridge Police Officer

Cambridge Police Cadets are provided with extensive community engagement, classroom training, field assignments, administrative duties, and daily fitness and health training opportunities. Police Cadets become familiar with the daily operations and functions of the department and culture of its community policing-related work through temporary assignments throughout various sections of the department, including the Commissioner’s Office, Patrol Operations, Support Services, and specialized units. As part of the Department, Police Cadets also participate in community outreach activities and frequently engage with residents, businesses, and visitors of the City of Cambridge.
