Every year GMP run a very successful local Cadet Scheme for teenagers interested in the work of the Police, with most having a direct interest in joining the Police.

As part of the scheme, each year the Cadets and their Leaders visit the Bolton MRT for a hands on session with our search and rescue equipment, and to be given an insight in to our work.

Thursday morning July 26th this year, saw Cadets and their Leaders arriving at our Ladybridge Hall Base / HQ for 10.00hrs to be greeted by very experienced team member and former SARDA handler Dave Marsh and team member Paul Chisholm. (See website ‘news’ report dated the same)

Today our Team Secretary Gillian Gregory received from GMP PC Trish Shepherd, Safer Schools Officer from South Bolton Area Neighbourhood Policing Team (Farnworth Police Station) the following kind email message;

“Gillian, On behalf of the Cadets, PC Carolan and myself please could you pass on our thanks to the guys who gave up their time to talk to the Cadets. It is very much appreciated.

We are looking at trying to do some fund raising for yourselves with them in the future.

Again many thanks. Trish.”
