For the 30 men and women who have spent the last four months preparing to become our region's newest peace officers this is a week for celebration. After completing over 700 hours of intensive training they are about to graduate from the Northern Nevada Law Enforcement Academy.
Academy Pride Run on Thursday:
It's been tradition for the last few years for the new peace officers to celebrate with a six-mile run from the Regional Public Safety Training Center to the James D. Hoff Peace Officer's Memorial on Thursday afternoon.
Graduation Ceremony on Friday:
The official graduation ceremony takes place at 10:00 a.m. this Friday, February 6, 2015 in the Grand Exposition Hall of the Silver Legacy Resort and Casino. Reno Police Chief Steve Pitts is scheduled to address the new recruits.
The graduating class includes 12 from the Reno Police Department, ten from the Washoe County Sheriff's Office, four from the University of Nevada, Reno Police Department, and four from the Sparks Police Department.
