The recent decision to scale back the Metropolitan Police's Volunteer Cadet scheme has raised concerns among youths who feel they have gained invaluable life skills and inspiration from the program. As one cadet expressed, the cuts will significantly impact overall experiences and opportunities for future cadets, making it harder for them to connect with policing and community service.
Savaan Bhatt, a 15-year-old cadet, expressed his disheartenment at learning about the cuts, stating, ‘It’s going to have a big impact on the cadets and the staff.’ His experience has helped him gain essential life skills and confidence, and he fears the changes will strip future participants of those opportunities.
