UMass Police Cadet Program




The UMass police cadet program was initially modeled after the Town of Amherst's police cadet program.

According to a witness statement by a friend of Vasi's contained in what Amherst PD released about the Vasi investigation, approximately six police officers responded to Vasi's very drunken condition (at Bart's, almost next to the Monkey Bar?). That's a lot of cops on a Thursday night to respond to someone throwing up.

Is it possible that one or more of those cops were cadets who appeared at a glance to be fully sworn officers but were actually cadets shadowing real cops? If so, were one or two of them UMass cadets? If cadets, what time did their shift end?


Codified in 2007 what had been routine practice for years.
