And just like that, the 2026 Frederick Half Marathon is complete! We continued our tradition of breakfast afterwards to celebrate. Great job to all the runners and those who worked to keep everyone safe! Shout out to Cracker Barrel Old Country Store - Frederick, for making sure we were fed well.

You don't know, what you don't know. Last night guest instructors shared their wisdom earned over a combined 36 years experience, between military and Federal service, helping to expose Cadets to incredible career opportunities and alternative pathways to law enforcement.

Today we pause to honor and remember Officer Greg Santangelo. Greg was a favorite amongst the many instructors who helped teach our young people. He always treated each Cadet as if they were actual student officers, the real deal. The impact he left behind is tremendous. We miss you, Greg and we will never forget.

Leadership through communication exercise, tent style! Leadership is more than just being a boss. It's a calm voice steering others towards a goal with the assurance that you can be trusted. Building a tent blindfolded is a feat but the team leads worked efficiently pulling everyone together to accomplish the goal. We all have the capacity to help lead others to build their proverbial "tent."
