Community Response Unit Officer William Henry took part in the 2023 Pa State Police Troop K Camp Cadet (July 9 - July 14). The kids come from all walks of life aging from 11-14. Over 200 applicants (interview process) but only 80 campers can attend.
The purpose of Camp Cadet is to provide an insight into police training and the overall expectations of a police officer. This program is a true-to-life experience, patterned after Pennsylvania State Police training. Participants are challenged by classroom instruction and physical activities. Self-discipline is taught here. The program is not a recreational camp, nor is it a disciplinary camp for problem youth. The camp is designed to bring a better understanding of law enforcement activities to the participants as they learn self-discipline, make new friends, and work as part of a team.
