Slough Volunteer Police Cadets

Slough Volunteer Police Cadets, (SVPC), is an initiative run by the Charity S.W.I.P.E in conjunction with Slough Police.

It is aimed at young people aged from 13 to 19 years of age.

SVPC is a youth diversion scheme and although young people interested in the Police as a career can join, it is anything but a recruitment tool for Police.

You do NOT have to want to join the Police to join SVPC.

SVPC will meet every Thursday between 6.30pm and 9pm at Swipe Music Centre, The Orchard Centre, 73a Stoke Poges Lane, Slough, Berkshire SL1 3NY.
