The Montgomery County Community College (MCCC) Municipal Police Academy graduated 24 cadets last week, two of whom are from Abington: Staff Sergeant Jullian Keys and Andrew Profit.

The graduation ceremony was held in the College’s Health Sciences Center gymnasium on December 14.

“Cadets, as you begin your careers in law enforcement, it’s my hope that you will remember the training, principles and values instilled in each of you during your time in the police academy,” MCCC Vice President of Pottstown Campus and Educational Partnerships and Chief Academic Officer Therol Dix said. “Model the lessons of justice, fairness and equity you’ve learned, as you enter the communities you’ll serve. Always remember to be a catalyst of change and a force for goodness.”

“I am honored to be here tonight to celebrate this significant milestone in each of your lives, graduation from the Municipal Police Academy,” Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele said. “As you know, this graduation ceremony is the culmination of six months of hard work. Intense physical training, demanding course work, and all the time you’ve put in at the firing range perfecting your skills. All that work prepares you for this next step of becoming a patrol officer.”
