KEY WEST, FL, June 20, 2017— Florida Keys Community College held a graduation ceremony on June 10 for its sixty-second Basic Law Enforcement (BLE) Academy in the auditorium of Coral Shores High School.  Twenty cadets successfully completed the 770-hour training program based in the College’s Upper Keys Center in Tavernier.  Upon passing the state certification exam, each will be eligible to become Florida Law Enforcement Officers.

Cathy Torres, Director of FKCC’s Institute for Public Safety, recognized the best and the brightest of the class with special accolades.  Corbin Hradecky, the Class Captain, was recognized for providing leadership and Joel Rios was recognized for academic achievement.  The coveted “PIG” award was presented to Danilo Paneca for “demonstrating pride, integrity, and guts.”  Addison LaPradd was named “Top Gun” for superior shooting skills.
