 Several months ago these 14 men and women entered this building as aspiring Denver police officers. It is my honor to introduce Denver police lateral class 19-3. This job offers tremendous opportunities and responsibilities and it's just now beginning. I'm excited for you and I'm excited for the city because of the talent that I know that we have had here. To all the graduates keep learning, be vigilant and make the most of your interactions with the community members you see on the street. You see building trust, strengthening relationships and enhancing partnerships with our community is the key to keeping our neighborhoods safe. The 14 individuals you see here worked very hard to get to this point and I am extremely proud of you all. I got to see them develop from day one and they're the best and the brightest. We celebrate the culmination of 17 weeks of intensive training within the walls of this prestigious academy and the training sections of this department. Throughout these past weeks and months the recruit officers before you have all worked hard and made sacrifices to get to this stage where we're standing today.
