The New Milford Police Department is starting a cadet program.  Chief Spencer Cerruto says it's designed to teach young people life skills, while fostering communication and connection between them and local law enforcement.  The program is for New Milford residents age 13 to 21.  The class will meet once every two weeks and cover topics including accident investigations, use of force and forensics.  There will also be demonstrations with the K9 and officers.  Those interested should call the New Milford Police Department at 860-355-3133 or send an email to cadets@newmilfordpolice.org.
