Dear Applicant,
First of all I would like to thank you for your interest in joining the Natrona County Sheriff Cadet Program.
This program is designed for young adults ages fourteen to twenty-one to take the first steps into having a
career in Law Enforcement. However, it will also give you the tools you'll need to become a law abiding and
successful individual within your community no matter what profession you decide to pursue in the future.
The Natrona County Sheriff Cadets is a non-profit organization that is sponsored by the Natrona County
Sheriff's Department. By joining the Cadet program you will be a representative of the Natrona County
Sheriff and are required to maintain a higher level of accountability and professionalism in all aspects while
participating in this program.
Please be aware that a background investigation will be completed to make sure that all potential applicants
will be of good moral and honest character, and if you have been convicted of a felony crime you will not be
able to participate in this program.
The following is a brief explanation of the induction process should you decide to continue with the Cadet
Program and submit an Cadet application:
Any prospective Cadet is required to attend three consecutive meetings to advance through the application
process. Should you fail to attend the three consecutive meetings you may continue the application process
but will still be required to attend three consecutive meetings before moving on to the next step of the
induction process. During the three meetings you will not be allowed to participate in any "hands on" activities
due to liability and insurance concerns, but are encouraged and welcome to participate otherwise.
At the first meeting, introductions will be made and you will be given this letter along with the Cadet Program
application. The application is required to be completed fully and turned in to a Cadet Officer or an Advisor at
the second meeting. After your application is received, a sworn Cadet Advisor will conduct a background check
and ask you to clarify any discrepancies or any questions the Advisor may have.
The second meeting is the chance for you to get to know our program better and for the Cadet Program as a
whole to get to know you. Please feel free to ask any Cadet or Advisor any question you may have regarding the
Cadet Program.
At the beginning of the third meeting (should you decide to continue with the program) you will first be given
a "POST" test to complete. This test will consist of basic reading comprehension, grammar, math, vocabulary,
and decision making. You will have 1 (one) hour to complete the test and must pass the test with a minimum
score of 70% to continue onto the next phase of the induction process.

After you have completed the test, you will be given writing materials and will be asked to provide a writing
sample. Instructions for the writing sample will be given to you at the time.
Should you provide a satisfactory writing sample, you will be interviewed by the Oral Board. The Oral Board
will consist of the Cadet Lieutenant, 1 Sergeant, 1 Cadet and at least 1 Advisor. (Acting designees will fill Oral
Board positions upon absence of any member.) After the Oral Board conducts their initial interview, you may
be asked additional questions in regard to any concerns or issues the Board may have. After the interview the
Oral Board will make either a "Denied for Induction" or "Recommended for Induction" finding. If the Board
makes a "Denied for Induction" ruling the induction process will cease and you will not be allowed to participate
in the program.
Should the Board recommend you for induction, you will be required to appear for an Advisor Interview. The
Advisor Interview will be conducted by two or more Advisors who will conduct a separate interview of you and
make the final determination as to whether or no to officially induct you into the Cadet Program.
Failure to pass any portion of the induction process will prevent you from becoming a Cadet. Should this
happen, you will have to wait on calendar year to re-apply.
If you pass all steps and are officially inducted into the Cadet Program you will be given further instructions
and directions at that time.
Again, if you, at any time have any questions regarding the Cadet Program please direct your questions to any
Cadet Officer or Advisor.
It is my honor to extend my welcome to you and look forward to having you as a Cadet with our post.
Sincerely,
Deputy Mark Bahr
