  2. Background The Washington DC Police Foundation works to support key unmet public safety needs identified by the Chief of Police of the Metropolitan Police Department and other public safety leaders in the District of Columbia. The Junior Cadet Program is designed to support this mission by providing 1) positive role models from MPD and the community; 2) life skills education to provide students with strategies to make healthy choices that contribute to a meaningful life; and 3) to encourage pursuit of continuing education. http://dcpolicefoundation.org/junior_cadet_program.html

  3. Junior Cadet Program The Junior Cadet Program is designed for children in 5th & 6th grades. The program will allow children to participate in activities that instill a sense of community pride, self-discipline and leadership ability in an overall positive environment. Participants will experience opportunities to travel to important civic centers and to meet community leaders. The program will also connect to parents and guardians of students to keep them informed of student progress with newsletters and a parental pledge. The program will continue to mentor students through middle school and into high school with the emphasis of encouraging careers in public safety and or public service.

  4. Goal: Improve students’ school performance, behavior and attendance Objective: • Establish a Junior Police Cadet program for elementary schools in high-risk neighborhoods and communities to provide positive law enforcement role models who teach and mentor students. • Help students develop the following skills: oral and written communication, critical thinking, conflict resolution, and crime, drug, gang and violence prevention. Goal: Encourage students to have a positive self-image Objectives: • Establish a mentoring program that will provide positive law enforcement role models who will: * help mentees feel valued as unique individuals; * help students become involved in constructive experiences; * give practical assistance, support and feedback to students; * provide counseling concerning health and nutrition; and * give effective feedback without lecturing, labeling or patronizing.
