Commissioner meets 8 year old boy who dreams of being a Police Cadet
THE Police and Crime Commissioner presented an 8 year old boy who dreams of becoming a cadet with a special cap. Cormac O'Kane, from Blackpool, wrote to Clive Grunshaw asking him to lower the age young people can join the Cadets because he really wanted to help his community.
The youngster, who told the Commissioner he had always wanted to volunteer, and his mum and dad were invited as special guests to the Cadet Attestation ceremony in Blackburn on Wednesday, 29 April 2015. He was invited up onto the stage at King George's Hall, in Blackburn, where Mr Grunshaw and Chief Constable Steve Finnigan gave him a Cadet Cap to look after until he is old enough to officially join.
The Commissioner said:- "It is brilliant to see the enthusiasm for the Volunteer Cadet scheme that Cormac has. We have so many talented and committed young people in Lancashire and I am really proud that people as young as Cormac are determined to help out Lancashire Constabulary and their communities. I was delighted to present Cormac with a cap to look after until such a time that we can bring him into the Cadet scheme."
