Community Involvement, Outreach, & Volunteerism

The Patton Township Police Department does a great deal of community outreach in the surrounding State College area. Our officers enjoy getting involved for the greater good and to spend time with the community.

Centre County Camp Cadet

Camp Cadet provides a week-long experience for boys and girls ages 12 through 15. They are exposed to law enforcement activities and are given an opportunity to know police officers on a personal basis. All cadets will develop new friendships and share experiences that will last a lifetime.

Boys Week is August 3rd - August 9th, 2025
