The Hijab, the Turban, the boy of Arab descent, the youth of African descent and many other youths characterized the diversity in the cadets that were celebrated at City Hall by the Edmonton Police Service.
Twenty-eight young members of the Edmonton Police Service Cadet Corps were recognized for their leadership, hard work, and commitment to the community over the past year at a special graduation and award ceremony at Edmonton City Hall on May 15, 2019. They were joined by numerous family, friends, EPS members, and distinguished guests such as Mayor Don Iveson, who came to congratulate them on their many successes.
The EPS Cadet Corps program is open to youth ages 16 to 18 who have an interest in law enforcement and want to make a difference in their community. Every week, cadets learn about policing and crime prevention, participate in educational and recreational activities, and volunteer at police and community events.
Cadets also learn effective leadership skills, gain confidence, and build positive relationships that last a lifetime.
