Camp Cadet is primarily
an educational experience. The staff is comprised of carefully
selected police officers and employees trained to instruct the cadets in
our judicial system and various aspects of law enforcement and safety.
The camp is designed to
bring a better understanding of law enforcement activities to the youths
as they live in an atmosphere of an actual Police Training Academy.
Emphasis is placed on self-discipline, the ability to make new friends and
the ability to work as part of a team.

A typical camp schedule includes presentations by representatives of
law enforcement agencies, such as District Court Judge, District
Attorney, Secret Service, FBI, state and local police.
Cadets learn that in the real world, law enforcement is a
democratic system working for the good of law-abiding citizens
-- unlike television show depictions. |

A
visual inspection of the tools of law enforcement and crime prevention is
part of the cadets' week long training. Typical equipment displays are radar speed detectors, breath
testing devices for identifying drunk drivers, police patrol vehicles and
the State Police Helicopter.
