WREXHAM and Denbighshire teenagers who want to help their community are being invited to consider becoming Police Cadets.

Applications for recruit cadet places, which are now open, can be made by those aged between 13 and 15 at the time of applying.

A North Wales Police spokesman said: "We do not recruit ad-hoc as the Volunteer Police Cadets is a two year programme run usually from our local Further Education Colleges.  

"We look to recruit 20 cadets maximum into each Cadet Unit."
