(WALB) - The Dougherty County Sheriffâs Office is working to create a new cadet program across the county. Dougherty County Sheriff Kevin Sproul said they are starting the cadet program in high schools this year. They will be meeting kids in the classroom, asking if theyâve decided on a career and if theyâve considered law enforcement. âWith our cadet program, weâre actually going to bring kids and run them through forensics, run them through the pistol range, run them through vehicle pull over and let them learn all about what an officer does,â explained Sproul.
