Criminal Justice Department announces graduates

Twenty-four recruits complete 800 hours of training including Ronald Golden from the Russell County Sheriff's Office, and Dustin Clemmons from the Edmonton Police Department.

On October 1, 2021, Gov. Andy Beshear and the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) announced that 24 law enforcement officers from agencies across the state have graduated the basic training academy.



"By choosing a profession of service, you are helping to ensure that Kentucky is a better, brighter place for the future," said Gov. Beshear. "Thank you for being a member of Team Kentucky by protecting our communities and taking action to serve our great commonwealth. Congratulations on your graduation, and we pray daily for your continued safety."

The graduates of Class 519 received 800 hours of recruit-level instruction over 20 weeks. Major training areas include patrol procedures, physical training, vehicle operations, defensive tactics, criminal law, traffic and DUI, firearms, criminal investigations, cultural awareness, bias related crimes and tactical responses to crisis situations.

"While basic training may have come to an end, your career as an officer is just beginning," said DOCJT Commissioner Nicolai Jilek. "Remember your training, and remember we are here for you anytime throughout your career."

DOCJT provides basic training for city and county police officers, sheriffs' deputies, university police, airport police throughout the state, only excluding Louisville Metro Police Department, Lexington Police Department, Bowling Green Police Department and the Kentucky State Police, which each have independent academies.
