Fairmont State University’s Police Academy welcomed the first ever class of police cadets on Monday, January 16. 16 cadets from 10 different state agencies arrived on campus to begin their 16-week journey towards becoming certified West Virginia law enforcement officers.
“This has been a long time coming,” said Police Academy Director Jeffrey McCormick. “Years of preparation have gone into creating this academy. The idea came about in 2016 and now we’re finally here welcoming our first class of cadets.”
