COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Some police officers and even detectives at the Cobb County Police Department were once cadets.
There are 14 cadets right now. They meet every week, even during the summer.
They are learning leadership and discipline skills and the importance of giving back through community service events.
The chief of the Cobb County Police Department Cadet Program is a Sprayberry High School student named Aiden Augestad.
“Every scenario we do you always learn something new,” Augestad told Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell. “It puts you straight in, and gives you a taste of everything in law enforcement.”
He is one of 14 cadets dedicated to learning and growing in real-life scenarios that will help set them up for the future.
“I joined out an interest for the career. I think that I was interested in being an officer,” Augestad said.
