The evaluation of the program was designed to\r\nanswer questions such as (1) How was the program recruitment\r\nimplemented, and with what success? (2) What were the role-related\r\nperceptions and attitudes of the cadets and how did they differ, if at\r\nall, among different types of cadets and from those of the members of\r\nthe latest recruit class? (3) How, if at all, did the program\r\nexperience affect the cadets' perceptions and attitudes? and (4) How\r\ndid the attitudes and perceptions of cadets compare to non-cadet\r\nrecruits with and without some college education in the same academy\r\nclass? Four cohorts of cadets were asked to complete several different\r\nquestionnaires throughout the course of the program, which culminated\r\nin graduation from the police academy. Two sets of non-cadet recruits\r\nfrom the academy were also included in the research. Major variables\r\nin the data collection detail reasons for entry into the police\r\ndepartment, opinions regarding police, and perceptions and attitudes\r\ntoward the police cadet program.
