SFPD Career Cadets
The SFPD Career Cadets increases access to higher education for community members interested in exploring a career in public safety. Cadets will join the City of Sioux Falls in a part-time civilian role at the SFPD. Cadets who maintain good academic standing also receive a scholarship to cover 12 credit hours at Southeast Technical College.
Once enrolled, cadets are paired with a mentor from the department. Through this relationship, they will learn about the vast career paths within the SFPD, as well as across the entire City of Sioux Falls team. They will also leave the program with paid, professional experience for wherever their career takes them next.
Hear from Lt. Rob Forster and others about this exciting new program.
