Lead, Learn and Earn

The NYPD Cadet Corps plays an integral role in the everyday operations of the New York City Police Department.

Because the fact is, without Cadets like you, the NYPD could not continue as successfully as we do. And in exchange for your commitment and hard work, we'll provide you with an outstanding hourly wage ($14.16) and invaluable experience as you learn the inner workings of our operations.

With over 300 specialized units to choose from, Cadets gain the knowledge and experience to advance their career within the NYPD. It is proven that those who participate in this program are more prepared to receive greater promotional opportunities down the line than those who do not, proving this opportunity to truly be a win-win for everyone. Become properly prepared for a successful police career. Step up-and sign up — today!
