Nofolk public safety aide geared towards young adults [Video]

NORFOLK, Va. — The Norfolk Police Department is hiring for both part-time and full-time jobs, including a new position that targets young adults who may be interested in one day becoming a cop.

NPD Master Police Officer Hardison explained, “like many departments, we need people. We want good people and reliable people, but we do need people to come out and apply and work for the department.”

“That is geared toward the younger age people who aspire to become police officers,” Hardison said. “There’s a certain age requirement to become a police officer which is 20-and-a-half years old, but the police safety aide, that age requirement [is] 18.”
