Amber Valley & Erewash Cadets  Amber Valley & Erewash Cadet Scheme is aimed at 16 year olds who may be interested in policing as a future career. You must live within the A Division policing area, which covers much of Amber Valley & Erewash.
The scheme will be similar in operation as to other youth groups consisting of weekly meetings and a range of activities including: - Police procedure and law
- Crime prevention
- Sport and keeping fit
- Self defence
- Inspection and drill
- Expeditions and activity weekends.
The scheme will also offer the opportunity to work towards the Duke of Edinburgh award [Silver].
The aim is to have an intake of 12 Cadets each September.
It is a great opportunity for young people who may want to work for the police in the future or who simply want to help within their local community.
The successful applicants will be asked to contribute subscriptions of £2 per week to assist with the running costs of the scheme. Applications are currently closed until further notice. If you have any queries, please contact:

Derby Volunteer Police CadetsThe Derby Volunteer Police Cadet Scheme is aimed at 16 year olds who are keen to be involved in a police-orientated youth group, and in particular to those who are interested in the police service as a future career.
The aims of the scheme are to give young people an insight into the many and varied aspects of policing, to make them aware of the role of the police in society, to develop their character, and to promote good citizenship.
These are some of the activities that Cadets participate in during a two year service: - Learning about police procedures and criminal law
- Team building activity weekends
- Two 3 day expeditions
- Inspection and drill
- Crime prevention
- Physical training
- First Aid
For health and safety reasons it is not possible for Cadets to take part in normal police operational activities, however, cadets are expected to assist at a variety of police community events and with crime reduction initiatives.
The scheme is also structured to allow attainment within the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme (Silver).
Derby Cadets meet for two hours each week, with the exception of most school holiday periods. Cadets are asked to contribute subscriptions of £2 per week to assist with the running costs of the scheme. Regular attendance is expected.
Cadet intake takes place in September, to coincide with the local authority school year. Potential applicants for the next intake should register their interest now so that application forms can be sent out between April and June. The closing date for completed applications is 9th June.
Due to its emphasis on the Duke of Edinburgh Award, those who have already attained the Silver or Gold Award may not find the Cadet scheme suitable for them, particularly during the second year.
Please note that applications to the Derby scheme are restricted to those who are, or will be, 16 and no older by the start of the next school year. They should reside within the Derby Divisional police area (co-terminus with Derby City Council and South Derbyshire District Council areas). Applications will be considered from those who live outside of the above area, however, they must reside within a five mile radius of St. Mary's Wharf Police Station.
Applications are considered on the basis of merit, with a structured selection process. Character references must be provided at the time of formal application. Applicants will be subject to a security screening process.
