Wisbech hosts police cadets' passing out parade
Over 50 guests attended the Fenland volunteer police cadets passing out parade at CWA’s Wisbech campus.
To kick-start proceedings, senior leader, Rhian Jones, and Inspector Ian Lombardo delivered speeches to the cadets, guests and members of the Cambridgeshire police force.
Ten new police cadets were officially inducted into the programme on the evening.
They took their cadet’s oath, lined up for a passing out parade and were handed their certificates to mark their success.
Senior police cadets were also recognised for their hard work and outstanding achievements throughout the year.
Awards were handed out for their dedication and hard work in service to their community and the police service; those receiving the awards were the head cadet, Lewis Forth, the deputy head cadet, Louise Berry, and Paige Goodman.
CWA Uniformed Services students from the Wisbech campus helped out on the evening to ensure the event ran smoothly.
CWA programme manager of sport and uniformed services, Scott Leadley, said: “We have strong ties to the local policing community, with many of our alumni leaving the college and moving on to successful careers within the police force.
“We are delighted to be part of this memorable evening and wish all of the new police cadets every success in the future.”
Senior leader, PC Rhian Jones, said: “I am so proud of how far the cadets have come in such a short space of time.
“They have had eight weeks to learn and prepare for their role as Volunteer Police Cadets before passing out as fully-fledged cadets and already they have volunteered 96 hours in their community.
“The cadets are a huge source of pride for Cambridgeshire Constabulary and the young people who choose to give up their valuable time to participate in the programme are fantastic role models.”
