The City of Southfield Police Cadet program is a training that provides individuals an opportunity to obtain valuable training designed to give the Cadet a well-rounded exposure to and appreciation of the functions performed by the Police Officers of the City of Southfield. Cadets will perform work tasks of an administrative nature, along with other tasks that do not require the use of full Police powers, such as parking enforcement and jail security. Cadets must be willing to familiarize themselves with and abide by all departmental rules and policies, City ordinances, and State and Federal laws.

The Southfield Police Cadet Program is used as an applicant pool for hiring entry-level probationary Police Officers.

Selected candidates will be subject to an extensive level 4 background investigation, and must successfully pass a psychological evaluation and physical exam prior to employment. Each step of the process must be passed before the applicant will be moved to the next step. Applicants who meet the minimum requirements will be notified by email to attend an orientation and testing.
