Campus Safety to Begin Cadet Program
by Amy Wood and Dave ReindersStaff Writer and Correspondent
The Office of Campus Safety is in the process of implementing a cadet program for students interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement.
"Being a police officer is a calling from God, and there is a need for more Christians entering the field of law enforcement," said David Morlan, corporal of Campus Safety.
The cadet program will allow students to train in police work, both on campus and in the surrounding community.
Morlan, the newest member of the department's command staff and former APU student, is the officer who envisioned the program.
Cadets will have the opportunity to intern with the Azusa and Glendora police departments, gaining hands-on experience with report writing, working in jails, dispatching and ride-alongs.
Sophomores with a GPA of 2.5 or higher and references from a pastor and two law enforcement officers will be eligible for the cadet program after working one semester with Campus Safety.
"The new cadet program will be a great place for Christian men and women to get their feet wet in law enforcement," Morlan said.
