Congratulations to POST Academy North Graduates

A graduation ceremony was held today at NIC’s Boswell Hall for the second “POST North” Academy graduating class - POST Class 809. POST Stands for Peace Officers Safety and Training (POST) Academy, and completion of POST is essential for a police officer to become certified. It used to be that North Idaho police agencies had to send their police candidate trainees to Meridian, Idaho for training. A North Idaho academy enables the training needs of local police agencies to be met locally, reducing training costs. This is a great example of partnering by NIC, the POST Academy, and local law enforcement agencies.

Congratulations to new CDA PD officers / POST Class 809 graduates: Jordon Noble, Nate Petersen, Jim Doster, and Bryan Alexander. Special congratulations to Class President Nate Petersen for receiving honors as class Top Gun and Outstanding Professional. Special congratulations also go to Officer Bryan Alexander for honored as Outstanding Academics and for distinguishing himself as Top Overall Student.

Well done graduates!
