Pleasanton PD has developed a new police cadet program that aims to offer young adults an opportunity to join the department and gain experience with police services.

Designed for people interested in a career in law enforcement, cadets will receive training in general police procedures, first aid, radio procedures and traffic control. Typical duties will include patrolling city streets, assisting in locating and handling animals, and collecting data, according to Lt. Erik Silacci.

“We’re pleased to introduce this part-time employment opportunity,” Silacci said, “which is ideal for young adults who are actively involved in the community and interested in law enforcement.”

Applicants must be at least 18 years old with a high school diploma, or GED or equivalent, with a minimum 2.0 GPA. They must be currently enrolled in an accredited college or university and taking a minimum of 12 semester/18 quarter units and maintain a “C” or better GPA.

The paid position will offer $15-$20 per hour. To learn more, contact the department at 925-931-5210 or visit www.pleasantonjobs.org.
