South Piedmont Community College has graduated a new class of law enforcement officers, who are now protecting and serving our community at five different agencies.
BLET Class 48 graduated during a ceremony at the Dowd Center Theatre in Monroe on June 20.
BLET provides future law enforcement officers with essential knowledge and skills they will need to begin their careers. The program spans 16 weeks and uses state-mandated topics and methods of instruction.
All members of the graduating class have already been hired by local law enforcement agencies.
“It is an honor and a privilege to have played a role in preparing these outstanding public servants for their careers,” said Mike Smith, director of law enforcement training.
“We thank them for the service they will provide their communities, and we are proud to call them South Piedmont alumni.”
