An evolution is happening; yesterday, these cadets received their “warm welcome” and reality set in.
As life unfolds in front of them, the transition from civilian clothing to the academy uniform is more than a change in appearance — it represents their commitment to serve and the expectations that lie ahead.
These cadets were selected from a large group of applicants, standing out as some of the best. Over the next 34 weeks, they will face challenges that will test their discipline, determination, and character. The road ahead will not be easy, but with the support of their families, loved ones, and community, they are prepared to meet these challenges.
This career is not simply a job — it is a calling. These cadets have answered that call, and their journey toward serving with honor as future Pasadena Police Officers has begun.
