The Brooklyn Park Police Department in Minnesota announced an uptick in law enforcement manpower with the addition of five new officers to their squad this week. Several of these freshly minted officers are products of the department’s initiative to cultivate talent from within, the Cadet Program, which local precinct leaders have touted as a successful conduit for diversifying their police force. The department shared news of the inductees, focusing on the program’s role in this fresh infusion of new blood.
