On Thursday evening, March 7, 2019, the Criminal Justice Academy of Osceola held the Law Enforcement Officer Academy Graduation for Class 2018-03 at Osceola High School. After 5 1/2 months, 29 cadets proudly walked across the stage to accept their Certificate of Training, completing 770 training hours. Of those 29 cadets, 23 of them graduated in uniform. The 23 in uniform have already accepted a position at one of the 5 agencies: Osceola County Sheriff’s Department, Kissimmee Police Department, St. Cloud Police Department, Brevard County Sheriff’s Office or Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.

 

“The new recruits will have another 6 months of training with their agency before actually going out on the field alone,” says Guy Samuelson, Director for the Criminal Justice Academy of Osceola. These new recruits now have the knowledge, the training, and the drive to become some of the best Law Enforcement Officers in Central Florida. The 770 hours of training included hands-on training, in the class training, and much more.
