CAPCOG’s Regional Law Enforcement Basic Peace Officers Course No. 89 graduated on June 5 after its cadets completed their Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Peace Officer exam. All 18 cadets passed on their first attempt, and nine scored a 90 or above on the exam.
“These cadets showed tremendous dedication in wanting to serve their communities as a peace officer and that was reflected in their performance at TCOLE,” said Mike Jennings, RLEA director. “They have earned our greatest congratulation in achieving this career and life accomplishment.”
