Over 100 newly certified officers graduated from the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy (TLETA) yesterday. One of the graduates is an employee of the Cannon County Sheriff’s Office.
Kreed Curtis was one of the one hundred who walked the line yesterday. Curtis started as a correction officer one year ago and become an officer in September of last year according to Sheriff Darryl Young.
Lincoln County Sheriff Murray Blackwelder was the guest speaker for the graduation.
Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy’s Basic Police School course provides technical and tactical expertise in addition to the ethical and professional standards needed to be a successful law enforcement officer. The newly certified officers have joined thousands of law enforcement officers who have studied at the Academy during its more than 50-year existence.
In addition to Cannon County’s Sheriff’s Office, graduates of Basic Police School Class 1859 will serve the police departments, sheriffs’ offices, and state agencies in our area including Murfreesboro, Rutherford County, Tennessee State Parks, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, Tullahoma and Wilson County.
