Week 12 - Graduation - JCSO Citizen's Academy

Week 12 - Graduation!

It's Week 12 and that means our time with the Johnson County Sheriff's Office Citizen's Academy is done. It went so fast! I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did!!!

We were greeted by a room full of people, all of which were involved in the academy in one way or another. A nice spread for dinner was provided and then the Award Ceremony began. I think I speak for most of the class when I say we had no idea we were going to be receiving awards and such nice certificates for attending the academy. A simple "Thank You for Attending" would have been plenty but the Certificates and Awards were a very nice touch!

Sheriff Denning addressing the class before the awards ceremony.

Rita Jones, Executive Assistant to Sheriff Frank Denning, speaking to the class about volunteer opportunities with the Sheriff's Office.

A few Awards were presented.... "Top Shot"... Best Shot on Range, "Top Gun"... Fastest Qualifying Time on EVOC course, and "Cone Killer"... Smashed most cones on EVOC qualifying run.

"Top Shot" Award for marksmanship on Range day. Congratulations Bill!
(I apologize for not paying attention and getting a picture of you when the award was presented!)

"Top Gun"... Fastest Qualifying Time on EVOC course. Congratulations Derek!

Me! I realize my name is nowhere to be found in my blog soo... Kathi aka "Cone Killer". I earned a few other nicknames throughout the academy but we'll omit those for now! :)

My "Cone Killer" Award!

Graduation Ceremony. All participants received a certificate in a frame with the Sheriff's Office Patrol Patch and Class Picture. We also received a nice pen engraved with our name on it and Sheriff's Office printed on it (Thank you Shakil Haider for engraving the pens. That was a nice touch!) and a nice ceramic coffee cup with Sheriff's Office logo/name on it.
