CARMEL – Despite the heat and humidity and rains, two dozen young men and women have been training at all hours of the day and evening this summer in conjunction with the Putnam Sheriff’s Department Cadet program.
The six-month training program is about “skill, values, leadership, fun, being trustworthy, doing the right thing while being loyal, helpful and kind to each other. When graduating, these outstanding teenagers will have met the challenge making us all proud,” said Sheriff Brian Hess.
The Cadet program began in 1967 as a chartered Law Enforcement Explorer program, founded by the late Sheriff Raynor Weizenecker.
Cadets serve the community from Cold Spring to Carmel, assisting deputies on patrol and helping with traffic and patrol duties at community events.
