Twenty-eight new police officers will graduate tonight from the department’s training academy in what will be the 18th and last police graduation ceremony over which Mayor Bill Purcell will preside.
The ceremony will begin at 6 p.m. at Madison Church of Christ, 106 North Gallatin Pike. Media representatives and the public are invited.
Nearly 500 officers have graduated from the academy during Purcell’s eight years as mayor.
After tonight’s graduation, the 28 new officers will spend the next five to six months with precinct field training officers before patrolling the streets by themselves.
