A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS is in order for our very own Cadet Sergeant Vanga who not only just completed the Putnam County Bureau of Emergency Services EMS Course, but Graduated as the class VALEDICTORIAN!! All while balancing high school, an increased responsibility within the PCSO Cadet Program, other extracurriculars, and so much more! We are so incredibly proud of his commitment and hard work, but we truly are not surprised. Cadet Sergeant Vanga has ALWAYS been known to give everything he puts his mind to his all, and this is no different! Congratulations Cadet Sergeant Vanga! You should be so extremely proud of yourself! We can’t wait to see what the future holds for you. We know you will do GREAT things! 🎉🎈

We LOVE celebrating our Cadets successes!!

Sunday, May 4th was Traffic Stop Day for our Phase 1 Cadets!!

We started off the day by having the kids check out the patrol cars (and play with the sirens). Then we showed them all the equipment we wear, carry, and have in our patrol vehicles.

Our Phase 1 Cadets got to walk through some traffic stop scenarios and then observed a demonstration of a Felony Traffic Stop. They will receive more hands on training with Felony Stops in the near future!!

Overall, our Phase 1 Cadets had a great time!

We’re thrilled to announce that this year’s Medication Take Back Day was an incredible achievement! Together, as a community, we made a significant impact in creating a safer, healthier environment for everyone.

With your unwavering support, we collected 245 pounds of unused or expired medications, and 309 pounds of syringes/sharps—preventing them from potentially harming others or polluting our environment. This event not only highlighted the power of collective action but also reinforced the importance of responsible medication disposal.

A huge thank you goes out to everyone who participated, from our dedicated volunteers to all the residents who took the time to drop off their unused medications. Your commitment to making a difference has truly shone through!

Woo! Our Phase 2 Cadets are CPR & AED Certified! O

Woo! Our Phase 2 Cadets are CPR & AED Certified! On Monday night, our Phase 2 Cadets participated in a CPR Certification Class taught by the Putnam County Bureau of Emergency Services EMS Coordinator, Ann Daros. It was a class that our Cadets thoroughly enjoyed and we are so thrilled that they possess this knowledge and skill now. This is a very important lesson for our Cadets as this is a useful skill for them to have, not only on ride-alongs with our Deputies and at the many community Cadet details they assist at, but for use on the daily to SAVE LIVES!! Great work Cadets!

A HUGE thank you to the Putnam County EMS Coordinator, Ann Daros! Thank you for taking the time to work with our Cadets, for sharing your knowledge and passion in the medical field, and for always making your lessons fun! We are so grateful!
