USNSCC Cadets Sharpen Skills with Law Enforcement and Safety Training

Over the weekend of June 7–8, 2025, cadets from the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC) Enterprise Division and Training Ship Ellexson participated in a high-impact two-day training evolution focused on public safety, physical readiness, and leadership development.

June 7: Inside the San Jose Police Department

Hosted at the San Jose Police Department Training Facility, cadets were welcomed with a professional orientation and facility tour. They experienced the cutting-edge Force Option Simulator, putting them in real-time scenarios that challenged their decision-making and ethics under pressure. After a mid-day break for chow, cadets engaged in Defensive Tactics (DTAC) training, learning hands-on self-defense techniques under the expert guidance of Instructors Tony Vera and Sebastian Wisniewski. The day concluded with cadets departing inspired and better informed about careers in public safety.

June 8: Safety and Readiness Day

Returning to drill on Sunday, cadets mustered early in PT gear to raise morning colors and conduct a robust physical training session. After changing into NWUs, they underwent uniform inspection and received a detailed safety briefing. The core of the day involved rotating through emergency response training stations, testing their readiness in simulated high-pressure scenarios. Cadets capped the experience with group discussions to reflect on lessons learned, followed by chow, drill, and a final debrief to reinforce the weekend’s key takeaways.

These combined training days exemplify the USNSCC’s commitment to real-world experiences that instill discipline, resilience, and leadership. Special thanks to the San Jose Police Department for their outstanding partnership in helping shape the next generation of leaders.
