South Piedmont Community College has graduated a new class of law enforcement officers, who are now protecting and serving our community at seven different agencies.
BLET Class 50 graduated during a ceremony at the Building A conference center in the Monroe campus on Thursday, June 5th.
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.
“This graduation marked an important milestone in the history of South Piedmont’s Basic Law Enforcement Training program. With Class 50, we are celebrating our ‘golden anniversary’ of producing highly trained law enforcement professionals who are making a difference in our communities every day. We are proud and thankful for the opportunity to play a role in local law enforcement education, and to every South Piedmont BLET alum, thank you for all you do.” said Mike Smith, director of law enforcement training.
