In the fall of 1999, the Dover Police Department started the Police Cadet program. This program employs four civilian cadets on a part-time basis, not to exceed 25 hours per week. The applicants for these positions are subjected to a hiring process similar to that of a police officer, though not as intense. The cadets must also be currently enrolled in a college degree program. The police cadet program is currently inactive.
These Police Cadets are given training in areas such as:
 | First Aid |
| CPR |
| Weaponless Defense |
| Baton Use |
| Capstun |
| Report Writing |
| Other training as needed |
The main function of the police cadets is to assist sworn police officers in their duties. Some frequent duties include:
| Taking crime reports via telephone (Teleserve) |
| Prisoner processing |
| Vehicle transports (for maintenance) |
| Riding with police officers on patrol |
| Issuing City Ordinance Summonses for parking violations |
| Other duties as assigned |
Currently, applications are not being given out due to the program being inactive.
