Cadet Uniforms

Public Safety Academy takes pride in each of our cadet's appearances.  The following are the guidelines for our military dress code.  A violation in any one of these will result in a formal warning, which can lead to a violation.

If a cadet is not adhering to these rules, the cadet’s items in question will be confiscated and must be picked up by a parent or guardian only.
