Brick Police Seek Teens For Cadet Program

BRICK, NJ — The Brick Township Police Department is seeking teens who are interested in law enforcement to join the department's Public Safety Cadets.

"This program provides an important introduction to law enforcement for Brick Township's youth," the department said in a recent Facebook post.

The cadets meet monthly and receive educational training and participate in hands-on simulations. They also support the police department during major community events, ride-alongs, and other local functions, the department said.

In January the cadets, who are under the Community Policing Unit, learned about techniques for clearing rooms.

Teens ages 14 to 18 who are interested in law enforcement are invited to learn about participating in the cadet program. Contact the Brick Township Community Policing Unit by phone at 732-262-1140 or by email at policecommunitypolicing@twp.brick.nj.us.
