38 Recruits Graduate from CSPD Academy

The 74th recruit class is comprised of 38 men and women who have undergone 29 weeks of intensive training. Their curriculum included rigorous hands-on training, testing, and more. Every new officer has successfully passed their POST certification test and is ready to begin their service to our community. Following their graduation, the cadets will spend the next 15 weeks in additional PTO training before they begin responding to calls on their own.

• 6 graduates can speak a foreign language
• They come from 17 different states, to include Puerto Rico & Guam
