The cadet program is the law enforcement equivalent to a paid internship, allowing the individuals to not only experience firsthand the life of an NRP officer but also to participate in other areas of the Department of Natural Resources, such as fisheries, state parks and wildlife.
In the past two years, seven cadets have made the transition to the NRP Police Academy. One of them already has graduated and joined the ranks of field officers.

White people need not apply-all the jobs go to "minorities". What will they do in 10 years when white folks are the minority? Will we then get the same preferential treatment? I'm not holding my breath.
ReplyDelete8:55 - Interestingly enough, I am seeing the same phenomenon in the DC area with the Federal jobs open.
ReplyDeleteI have applied for a number of these jobs - possessing the requisite minimum qualifications. Being a contractor within the organization, I am able to see who gets in for interviews and is eventually hired.
Between favoritism in the initial screening process and Affirmative Action in the eventual hiring process, we're doomed to the mediocrity that we're allowing to be hired.
Maybe changing my name to Tyrone Washington and listing my degree as from Strayer, I could get an interview.....
If I was you I would absolutely give my race as black...Who says you're not?
