Law Enforcement Training Institute Graduation 2011




I lacked proper  equipment to take good pictures, and the ones I took had to have major editing to make them postable. :)
Just a warning, my camera has a small flash and I did the best I could, however, it still stopped occasionally to process pictures and basically froze so unfortunately, I missed some key moments/pictures.  Sorry. :)

This picture (Above) is basically to show you  the setting and... atmosphere etc.  

Graduating class marched onstage to a bag pipe.   The national anthem was then sung and  the flag was honored.
There were a few short speeches and here we see Mr. Stephens addressing the class for the last time.

Dad was one of fifteen recognized for perfect attendance.

Graduating...

Officially Graduated

After everyone graduated. they all did the class 'victory chant' one last time together on the stage.


Corporal Donna Ford, Deputy Jon Ymker, and Sergeant Bill Moulder

Wow, Daddy. Are we ever proud of you!
For those friends and family and care to see some pictures from the academy, I've created a short slide show.
It's nothing special but you'll be able to put faces with names and see a little bit of what it's like.
Enjoy!

First taser, then slideshow.

There... you can can click the link (above) and watch it on Youtube because it's kinda tiny here.  The youtube link should have slightly better viewing. :) Once you pull it up on Youtube, you may choose an even larger viewing size by clicking the various sized "boxes" in the lower right hand side of the video box (to the right of the play/pause etc buttons). --Or watch the tiny version below... :)  There, Grandma, that is for you. :)  If you have trouble, give me a call and I'll explain it better and walk you through it. :)
