Just a reminder, This page is the Main page for a non-profit YOUTH organization. Ages 13-20 years old. Children who donate HUNDREDS of hours every single year to their community and live by words like integrity, selfless service, respect and honor. Nothing you say will ever change that. I know I am not alone in saying this, every single one of you who leave these pathetic comments, could really learn a lot of things from our Cadets. I can't imagine being a grown adult and leaving some of these disgusting comments to children. Go voice your opinion to an adult, face to face at the police department and stop hiding behind gross comments on a children's youth program, on Facebook, It's creepy and sad.
