On Wednesday, June 11, Easton Police Department welcomed two new officers to their team following their graduation from Wor-Wic Community College’s Eastern Shore Criminal Justice Academy. Officers Hugo Galan and Calvin Parker were commended and sworn in to serve Easton by Mayor Megan Cook following the academy graduation ceremony, held at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center in Ocean City, MD.
The academy has a six-month long curriculum that trains officers on many aspects of police operations, and has testing requirements for physical fitness, academics, and marksmanship with a pistol.
Following their graduation, the new graduates must successfully complete a three-month Field Training program with the Easton Police Department to satisfy the requirements for full certification as a Maryland law enforcement officer.
After the graduation ceremony, Acting Easton Police Chief Greg Wright congratulated the graduates on a job well done. Acting Chief Wright said, “Every graduating class brings a level of excitement to our department, and these two young officers build upon that excitement. We can’t wait to see them establish themselves and their careers here in Easton.”
