Congratulations to our four cadets that attended and all graduated from the Nerleea Cadet Police Academy at Westfield State University this past week!

Cadet Aidan Tulacro attended his second year at the academy and participated in Cadet Police Department where he conducted patrol shifts around campus taking calls for service with role playing scenarios. Aidan was recognized by NERLEEA for assisting a cadet from another post that was struggling with his uniform.

Cadets Nina Ouellette and Grace Goldberg both successfully completed their first year at the academy and participated in the Advanced Program where they focused on both physical and educational training from forensics to building clearing. Cadet Oullette was also awarded with the directors award!

Cadet Isabella Weber successfully completed her first year at the academy and participated in the Basic Program. This program is intended to establish a solid groundwork of ethics, teamwork, and discipline.

I'm proud of all four cadets for pushing through.
