“Each year I am impressed and proud of the hard work and dedication that these graduates put in, “commented Academy Director Scott Richardson. “The graduates of the Police Academy endured months of training to be ready to enter the workforce. These graduates will immediately take the knowledge and skills they learned and start making a difference in the communities they will be working in.”
