Yamhill County Cadet Unit

Last night's fundraiser dinner and auction put on by the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office Foundation was a huge success! The Cadets were proud to help out with the event, a first for the Foundation, which supports the Sheriff's Office and all the volunteer groups by receiving and disbursing community donations. You can learn more about their mission here: ycsofoundation.org

The Cadets assisted the McMinnville School District and the McMinnville Police Department last night with making sure the Mac High Graduation went smoothly. Some of our Cadets attend Mac High so there were lots of familiar faces, friendly interactions and possibly some future Cadets recruited!

Once again, the Cadet Unit was able to help out with one of their favorite events of the year, the annual Perrydale School District Bike Ride! This event has been a tradition for the fifth grade class for many years.

The Cadets provide rolling traffic control as they es**rt the bicyclists from Perrydale School to Amity City Park and back. At the park, the kids challenged the parents, teachers and Cadets to a rematch of the kickball tournament from last year and we're proud to report that the adults crushed the opposition this year! 😎

On Saturday, some of our Cadets helped out with the annual Bald Mt. Cleanup event, put on by the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office with the assistance of the Bureau of Land Management, Yamhill County Search And Rescue, and Solve PNW. Special thanks to YCSO Woods Patrol Deputies Dan Hall and Rob VandeBergh for coordinating and planning this great event!

At their last meeting, the Cadets trained on area searches containing outbuildings for outstanding suspects in a variety of different scenarios. They were able to brush up on their high-risk handcuffing skills, practiced giving use of force warnings, cleared buildings and worked on searching large areas containing a number of different tactical challenges.
