Stella E. The Criminal Justice Institute at Texas Southmost College celebrated its graduates on Saturday with a virtual ceremony that marks their next steps in the field of law enforcement.
Thirty-eight students were honored for their hard work and dedication to the academy and for their commitment they have made to protect and serve throughout their careers. He served eight years with four combat tours in Iraq, two years in the State Department in Kabul, Afghanistan and as a lieutenant for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. I learned a lot and I am walking away with skills that will make me a better asset on the force. Trigg and the other graduating cadets in the academy have completed the TSC Basic Police Officer Certification courses one through five, which cover hours β of those hours are mandated by the state of Texas and include training in academics, fitness, practical application and reality-based training.
We have several virtual training forums coming in the next year. Some have moved on to departments at larger cities, while others have gone on to work in federal positions with the U. Border Patrol and U. Seeing them sworn in and smiling is what I enjoy most.
As for Trigg, with his certificate of completion and a passing score on the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement State Exam, in the new year he will be sworn in as a police officer with the Harlingen Police Department.
I have TSC to thank for that. Texas Southmost College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, gender, disability, age, or military status in its programs and activities and provides equal access to services and other programs at the College.
