I know these future leaders of Bergen County are going to make us all proud.” “By completing this specialized training, these young men and women have demonstrated that the safety and security of our citizens is major priority,” said County Executive McNerney. “The information they gained from the academy will help them better understand how law enforcement works. I applaud their spirit of public service and leadership and I believe we will see good things from these students in the future.” In addition to the County Executive and Sheriff, Class President Andrew Jimenez, Class Vice President Katherine Lupardi and Class Member Michael Castellano spoke on behalf of the graduating class.
