Josh Shapiro: “59 cadets graduate here today, and you represent the future…”

“And today it is my honor to congratulate the 173rd class of cadets to graduate from the Pennsylvania State police academy. The 173rd class to take on that responsibility and answer that call to serve. That is a critical responsibility. 59 cadets graduate here today, and you represent the future of the Pennsylvania State Police. You made it through the 27 weeks of training, successfully completing one of the nation's most comprehensive and intense basic training courses for law enforcement.” (01:52–02:01)
