Learning leadership and real world policing skills from MPD’s Finest!

06/02/2026

Today’s training focused on proper handcuffing techniques, officer safety, and hands on practical skills. Our cadets had the opportunity to learn and practice real world procedures while building confidence and professionalism. Of course, Cadet Wyatt made sure to keep things entertaining along the way! Cadet Eli later paid the favor back 😂😂

On the other side of the building were our leadership cadets who completed their oral boards, the last step in the promotional process!

Great job by all of our cadets as they continue developing the skills and teamwork needed for future careers in public safety.

The Middletown Police Cadets were honored to participate in today’s Memorial Day Parade in the City of Middletown.

After last Monday’s parade was postponed due to weather, we were proud to join our community today in remembering and honoring the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our nation.

Today’s cadet contingent was led by Cadet Captain Varga, Officer Bloom, and Advisor Anthony Hinton. We are proud of the professionalism and dedication displayed by our cadets as they represented both the program and our community.

Thank you to all of the veterans, active-duty service members, organizers, and community members who helped make today’s event a success. We are grateful for the opportunity to pay tribute to those who gave everything for our freedom.

A special thank you to our advisors for the countless hours they put into mentoring and training these cadets, and to the Middletown Police Department for continuing to support opportunities like this. Events such as Stations Day are critical in helping develop, train, and prepare the next generation of young leaders interested in law enforcement and public service.

Yesterday we had the opportunity to connect with students at Beman Middle School during a recruitment event, and the response was outstanding. We met so many motivated students who shared their interests in law enforcement and a wide range of future careers.

To every student who stopped by…thank you for your time, your energy, and your ambition. No matter the path you choose, stay focused and keep pushing forward. Your future is yours to build. We (MPD) will always be there right by your side.

We also want to thank the Beman staff for their support in making this event possible.

A special recognition goes to our advisor, Anthony Hinton, who truly is the heart and soul of this program. His commitment goes above and beyond, taking time off work to be present for all lunch waves, enthusiastically engaging with students, and then returning to help again for our evening meeting. That level of dedication isn’t asked for, it’s who he is. The time, effort, and consistency he brings to this program have a direct impact on our cadets and the success of everything we do. Huge thank you Ant!!

Our crew at this year’s Skills Day!

Held at the Connecticut Police Officer Standards and Training Council (POST) Academy, cadets were put through a series of hands-on scenarios and training designed to challenge decision making, communication, and teamwork under pressure.

From tactical problem solving, handcuffing and real world simulations, this was all about stepping up, staying sharp, and building the confidence it takes to lead.

A big thank you to Officer Lombardo from the Greenwich Police Department for putting together an outstanding event and giving our cadets an incredible opportunity to learn and grow.

Proud of the effort, energy, and growth shown by every single cadet. We also had to pay our respects to CT’s fallen officers. This is what the program is all about. 👊

This past Monday, our cadets had the opportunity to learn about DUI investigations from Advisor Rubino, Middletown Police Department’s only certified Drug Recognition Expert and a trained phlebotomist.

Cadets gained insight into impairment detection, standardized testing, and the critical role officers play in keeping our roads safe. Hands on, real world training that continues to prepare the next generation.

Congratulations to Cadet Abigail Meliso on successfully completing Basic Training with the Connecticut Air National Guard! 🇺🇸

This is a tremendous accomplishment that reflects her dedication, discipline, and commitment to serving something greater than herself. Abigail has already demonstrated the character and work ethic that make her an outstanding member of our cadet program, and we are incredibly proud to see her reach this milestone.

She will now be heading to Tech School where she will begin training in her military specialty, continuing her journey of service and professional development.

The sky is the limit Abby and we look forward to seeing all that you accomplish next! So proud of you!
