The Paulding County Sheriff’s Office Public Safety Cadet program provides a community service organization for anyone between the ages of 14 to 21 interested in a law enforcement career and to allow young men and women to better understand the role of law enforcement in today's society. The Public Safety Cadet unit also provides members with training and experience in leadership, teamwork and positive self-confidence. By identifying interested youth and exposing them to law enforcement, the Cadet Unit is used to attract possible future deputies.
