The following cadets from Nash Community College’s 45th Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) academy were recognized for completion on Tuesday, August 2, 2016:
Guest speaker, Nashville Police Department Chief Thomas A. Bashore told the graduates, “Helping those we know is easy, helping those we have never met before is also easy if we have passion for our work.” He shared an email he received from a grateful traveler who experienced car problems while passing through the area. He detailed how two Nashville Police Officers went above and beyond the call of duty by assisting the traveler, ensuring she could continue on her way.
Cadets in NCC’s BLET program participate in rigorous physical and classroom state commission mandated topics and methods of instruction covering topics related to legal, criminal, juvenile, civil, traffic, investigative, patrol, custody, court procedures, emergency responses, ethics, and community relations.
