Your start in law enforcement and public safety could start with just a couple of meetings a month. The Sturgeon Bay Police Cadets are recruiting new members to join their organization that introduces law enforcement concepts to students between the ages of 14-20. In addition to classroom time, the cadets participate in competitions showcasing their newfound skills and ride-alongs with Sturgeon Bay Police Officers. A similar program is how Sturgeon Bay Police Officer and Police Cadets leader Brandon Shew got his career in law enforcement started. Shew says his involvement in the program formerly known as the Police Explorers gave him an edge when he attended the academy and other criminal justice courses.

The Sturgeon Bay Police Cadets meet on the first and third Tuesday of each month from 6-8 p.m. You can contact Shew if you are interested in joining at (920) 746-2450 or bshew@sturgeonbaywi.gov.
