??♂️ Graduation Time for the 206th Police Recruit Class
The Honolulu Police Department recently held their 206th graduation ceremony for the new police recruits class. ??♀️
The graduating class underwent a six-month intensive training program that included both academic work and physical fitness training. ??
“Members of the 206th Police Recruit Class will soon join the ranks of Honolulu’s Finest,” said HPD officials. ??
The ceremony took place on Thursday, April 13 at 6:30 p.m. at the Kamehameha Schools Kapālama Campus’s Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani Performing Arts Complex. ??
HPD live-streamed the ceremony on their YouTube page so friends, family, and local residents could watch. ??
According to the police department, there were nine graduates from various backgrounds. ??✈️
One recruit previously worked in construction. Others had experience in the food-service industry, and some were former military service members. ?️??️
“Thank you for making Oʻahu safer and better for everyone, regardless of where we live, what kind of car we drive, or whether we have a house or are homeless. Thank you for displaying courage and compassion to all,” said HPD Chief Joe Logan. ???
One recruit shared his passion for becoming a community guardian. ?️?
“For myself, I am honored to graduate as an officer from my alma mater, Kamehameha. In retrospect, it probably shouldn’t be a surprise to me. I don’t dance hula; so, it was either this or the Fire Department,” Recruit Marshall Kaohu Nishimura explained. ??
What’s next for these new rookie officers? They will be assigned to the Field Training and Evaluation Program. ??♂️
During this program, they will work with experienced HPD officers who will provide mentorship and opportunities to gain real-world experience. ?️??
