106th Class Graduates Swearing In
Of the 31 graduates, 20 began their training September 22, 2003, in the Basic Recruit Class, while the remaining 11 graduates started January 26, 2004, as members of the Certified Officers Recruit Class. After completing their respective 27 week and 8 week stints at the Academy in training, the Basic and Certified Officer Recruits were eager to receive their diplomas and badges and take their oath of office. The graduates must still complete 10 weeks of field training in their newly assigned districts before they are released to solo patrol.
