Volunteer Police Cadet schemes do allow cadets to participate in certain activities with police officers. However, the specifics of whether cadets can patrol with officers vary by region and the individual policies of the police force involved. Generally, Volunteer Police Cadets participate in community-based activities, support community policing, and gain insights into police work, but they do not typically engage in active patrol duties in the way sworn officers do.
The purpose of the scheme is to give young people a unique insight into the workings of the police service, often including talks, demonstrations, and community events rather than engaging in active policing or patrolling with officers.
For more detailed information, you can explore specific resources such as the Volunteer Police Cadets page and regional police websites that outline their cadet programs, like West Yorkshire Police's documentation.
