John DeStefano

I have been a cadet with the boulder police department for nearly 2 years, promoting to the title of Senior cadet, now holding the ability to mentor and train new cadets within the program. Though I do not have any previous employment status, I have volunteered with the Police department on many occasions, training with our Special Weapons And Tactics, or SWAT team, and the Boulder Fire Department. As well as Helping at volunteer events such as the Polar Plunge: an event that has individual teams of community members raise money for the Special Olympics charity organization and then plunge in the frigid Boulder reservoir during the cold month of march.

Outside of Cadet Program volunteering opportunities, I have volunteered at Alaya Preschool (3340 19th St, Boulder, CO 80304) during the summertime, spending time bonding with the young children and helping teachers take them out on felid trips and other fun activities.

All of my experience in the past couple of years has truly benefited me in becoming who I am today and has molded me into a well disciplined and motivated person.
