Are you looking for a career with MPD as a full-time or part-time (high school) Cadet? MPD is offering a Cadet Prospect Day on Saturday, June 4, 2022.

The MPD Cadet Corps is a specialized program for 17- to 24-year-old Washingtonians to serve as uniformed, civilian employees. As a member of the Cadet Corps, you will earn a salary, while also taking college courses, and will earn up to 60 tuition-free credits toward a degree – putting you on track to enter MPD’s Police Officer Recruit Program.

The Cadet Corps is a place to learn hands-on about policing while attending the University of the District of Columbia Community College and earn college credits. Cadets will spend part of their time working specific job assignments for MPD while also working toward their degree.

Becoming A Part-Time Cadet
The Cadet Corps High School Program is designed to prepare high school seniors for entrance into the full-time Cadet Corps.  This program enables high school seniors to complete their senior year of school while working part-time for the Metropolitan Police Department Cadet Corps.  

This part-time option will provide students with unique opportunities to develop their leadership skills, participate in physical training, and learn about policing.  Participants will work 12 hours per week and earn an annual salary of approximately $10,691 ($16.91 per hour). Upon graduation from high school, part-time cadets will be converted into a full-time member of the Cadet Corps, and they will be enrolled in the University of the District of Columbia and complete the remainder of their training.

Please note that applicants under the age of 18 years old are required to complete and bring this signed consent form to their Cadet Prospect Day.
