What we are not
The Apex Police Public Safety Cadets are not a program for "at risk" youth. An applicant cannot have any arrests and/or convictions for felonies or serious misdemeanors (i.e., domestic violence). A member must be able to work independently and with other Cadets, Cadet mentors and Police Officers. The public will hold them to the same standard as police officers and they must be able to conduct themselves in a similar manner. An applicant must be reasonably physically fit and be able to stand for long periods and work in various weather conditions. Public Safety Cadets are not sworn officers, they do not carry weapons and cannot make arrests.
