    5  recruiting  an  additional  one thousand cadets for such program for the
    6  2013-2014 school year. The city university  of  New  York  police  cadet
    7  corps  program is designed to prepare candidates for the complexities of

   10  skill-development training and  supervised  public  safety  internships.

   12  provide the police department with an excellent  opportunity  to  assess
   13  the  capabilities  and  judge  the  character  of  candidates for police
   14  service.
