Citizen’s Police Academy – Graduation

Tonight was our graduation from the Carmel Citizen’s Police Academy. As a class, we are so grateful for the Carmel Police Department who have been so gracious to us and have allowed us to be a part of their family (and we hope that continues!). Special thanks go out to Ann Gallagher, Patti McAllister, and Major Barlow. Thanks to Chief Fogarty, Assistant Chief Green, and all the divisions that taught us throughout these ten weeks.

Our graduation was a lot more than I had expected, mostly because I didn’t expect a graduation. Ha ha! We had a great dinner, gave out awards, and talked about what we liked about the class. It was a great wrap-up and was most definitely appreciated by all of us in the class.

It doesn’t end there though. Those who have taken this class before us have formed an alumni association, so we’ll be seeing each other again… not as often, but we’ll be seeing each other. I greatly enjoyed this time at Carmel PD and if you live in Carmel and are interested in taking the class, visit the Carmel Police web site. I know that other departments offer this too, so check your local department’s web site.

Well my friends, that’s all for now. Here’s our class picture, it was great getting to meet these great people!
