The primary role of the Auxiliary Force Cadet Section is to assist the Winnipeg Police Service to prevent crime and enhance public safety in the community.

Auxiliary Force Cadets will do this through:

Being a visible presence to promote safety and security in areas throughout the City of Winnipeg,
Building positive relationships between the Winnipeg Police Service and the community, and
Helping create operating efficiencies, which will provide greater opportunity for police members to concentrate on core policing duties.

Auxiliary Force Cadets are organized as a section within the Community Relations Unit, in the Community Support Division #50.
