Who we are:

The mission of the Glendale Police Department (GPD) Cadets is to prepare our young adults for careers in law enforcement as sworn or non-sworn officers. Young adults from the age of 14.5 to 21 years of age participate in weekly meetings, community outreach programs, competitions, explorer/cadet academies, physical fitness programs, life skills training and various team building activities. All activities are accomplished under the direction of Glendale Police Officers who serve as Unit Advisors.
