End of Term fun for Kirklees West Yorkshire Police Cadets last night - Christmas Jumpers and bowling. We appear to have some semi professional bowlers in this Cohort!!

Finished at School at lunchtime, then straight to Tesco Batley for a 6 hour shift with Kirklees West Yorkshire Police Cadets who are bag packing to raise much needed funds for ForgetMeNotChildren

Leeds South cadets were out on patrol in Rothwell last night as part of a Speedwatch operation, learning how to use the Prolaser speedgun and monitoring traffic on local roads.

#TBT to a previous World Book Day UK 📚 when our Leeds cadets looked at the topic of police in literature. How fictional is fiction? Is #TrueCrime that true? Do guide books & self help really help? Just a few of the questions we pondered #LearningAndDevelopment #WBD2025 National Volunteer Police Cadets

⚠️WARNING⚠️ Do not invite a Hostage Crisis Negotiator to talk about their job/ skills. Your cadets will become very persuasive, will aim to build a rapport with you and will use enhanced communication techniques to get what they want. #LeedsSouth #CounterTerrorism National Volunteer Police Cadets

Our senior cadet at #LeedsSouth was given the task of organising something for #MothersDay Here's what she came up with We rather like it. Thanks to all the parents & guardians who support the National Volunteer Police Cadets cadet programme West Yorkshire Police

Just some of the items our #LeedsSouth cadets bought on a little outing to the suburbs Visiting every seller of age restricted products on one particular shopping street, only one shop out of ten passed Numerous vapes, alcohol & knives bought - much follow-up work being done

Thank you to WY Police Dogs for visiting #LeedsSouth cadets tonight. So much affection for our four legged colleagues......even the #Landsharks that came along to show us their skills (and teeth).

As a reward for outstanding performance and teamwork on the first day of their Bronze DofE exped (and to stop them rattling), Leeds South cadets were driven to a highpoint for 5 minutes of 5G signal. #TheRealitiesOfACadetLeader #AnythingForAQuietLife #HappyCampers

Our Leeds South cadets reach Stoodley Pike and complete their Bronze DofE exped. #MissionAccomplished

Once again, we're very disappointed with Leeds South cadets whose behaviour this afternoon was appalling & got quite out of hand When the police turned up, they launched missiles at them & all ended up getting arrested And then they did it all over again 🫨 #PublicOrderTraining

Our Impact of Volunteering trophy is awarded each year to our cadet with the most hours of volunteering Community volunteering is both a key aspect to gaining a DofE award & also learning about Neighbourhood Policing #CommunityCadet #DofE #LeedsSouth #BigWoodenMallet #Winner

Last week our Leeds South cadets were treated to a visit to the National Police Air Service base at Wakefield The tactical flight officers & pilot explained about the role of NPAS, about their roles & just what the helicopter can do Thank you for a great afternoon NPAS

Good luck to all our cadets picking up their GCSE results today🤞 We, and PD Sam, hope you all get the results you've worked so hard for 🎉 Please remember your grades don't define you nor do they define your future, even if you don't get the grades you wanted #ResultsDay2025

Is this everything?❌️ Half?❌️ 33%?❌️ No, this isn't even a ⅓ of the age restricted items that Leeds South cadets were able to buy while test purchasing Proud of how efficiently & professionally they worked throughout the day #UnderAgeSales National Volunteer Police Cadets West Yorkshire Trading Standards

Leeds South cadets have been exploring storing valuable property, discussing the pros & cons of each method & getting hands on with some safes Looking at the effects of different tools & ways security features can be overcome either through skill or brute force #safecrackers

Leeds South cadets had the privilege of learning first hand from a D/Ch Supt about the role of a Senior Investigating Officer in our Homicide & Major Enquiry Team With a career rich in examples of complex cases & unusual incidents, our cadets learnt what is really involved #SIO
