The Corvallis Police Department maintains a police cadet unit comprised of citizen volunteers to enhance the police-community partnership and provide auxiliary resources in support of policing activities. The program is designed to provide an introduction to law enforcement to those interested in pursuing a career in this rewarding profession. Cadets who desire to continue in the law enforcement profession are encouraged to apply with the Department once they turn 21.
Imagine raising a family in a thriving city that ranks high in livability — and working in a force where community policing is a priority.

Our last reaccreditation onsite took place in December, 2017, with a certificate of Advanced Meritorious Accreditation officially awarded at the CALEA conference in March, 2018.
