LAPD Cadets
Learning to Protect and Serve
The Los Angeles Police Cadets (formerly "Explorers") Program has been a very successful youth program. The purpose of the Cadets program is to provide special training to the youth that are preparing themselves for a career in law enforcement.
Goals of the Cadets Program are to recruit young men and women (ages 14-21) to prepare them for future careers in law enforcement, encourage them toward being contributing citizens to their community, and developing positive relationships between the police and the youth.

Officer Kincaid has been a Police Officer with the Los Angeles Police Department for five years. She has worked as a patrol officer at West Valley Area and Devonshire Area. She has also worked for the Operation-Valley Bureau Registration Enforcement And Compliance Team (REACT) unit and the Topanga Area Community Relations Unit, where she is currently. Officer Kincaid worked to establish the Cadet Program at Topanga Area prior to the station’s opening in January of 2009. She takes pride in seeing the group of teenagers and young adults grow and prosper in their knowledge of Law Enforcement and related topics.
