Senior leader PC Rhian Jones said: "I am so proud of how far the cadets have come in such a short space of time.

"They have had eight weeks to learn and prepare for their role as volunteer police cadets before passing out as fully-fledged cadets.

"They have already volunteered 96 hours in their community, met the chief constable and Police and Crime Commissioner of Cambridgeshire Constabulary.

"They have also been trained in first aid, visited the Hendon RAF Museum with the air cadets, received a session given by a magistrate and have used what they have learned to win two awards in the Cambridgeshire Annual Cadets Competition.

"The cadets are a huge source of pride for Cambridgeshire Constabulary and the young people who choose to give up their valuable time to participate in the programme are fantastic role models for their communities."

The passing out parade and awards ceremony that followed was attended by deputy police and crime commissioner Ray Bisby, Inspector Ian Lombardo, Inspector Caroline Scully, marketing personnel from the police force, CWA principal David Pomfret, Adrian Kent (uniformed services lecturer at CWA's Wisbech campus), Mark Rose (CWA's SMART supervisor).

Uniformed services students Sav Venni, Jordan Nash, Benjamin Barnes, Josh Choppin, Carter French, Benji Hewitt and Jordan Murphy also attended.
