RESPONSE TO QUESTIONNAIRE MAILED TO 47 POLICE JURISDICTIONS CONCERNING THEIR CADET PROGRAMS.
Abstract
DEPARTMENTS WERE QUESTIONNED ON THE SALARY RANGE AND ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS OF THEIR PROGRAMS. RESPONSES TO INQUIRIES REGARDING DUTIES, TRAINING, AND EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS ARE INCLUDED. A MAJOR PURPOSE OF THE STUDY WAS TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE PROGRAM SIGNIFICANTLY AIDED RECRUITMENT. RESPONSES ON THIS ASPECT WERE DIVIDED, WITH OLDER PROGRAMS THAT DELEGATED NON-CLERICAL DUTIES TO CADETS OFFERING THE MORE POSITIVE RESPONSES.
