Four cadets graduated from Edgecombe Community College’s 11th Basic Academy of Basic Law Enforcement Training on July 12.

Graduates are Adnan A. Allan, Anthony Dickens, Daneeka R. Govan, and Erin M. Grimes. All of the graduates are in the process of being hired by law enforcement agencies and will be taking their oath of office soon.

ECC’s BLET Academy prepares students for entry-level employment as a law enforcement officer with state, county, or municipal governments. The cadets completed an intensive 20-week program and have passed the certification exam mandated by the NC Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission.

The BLET program is unique in that it includes training in high-risk calls and certification in tasers, expandable batons, and pepper spray. Graduates also receive 18 college credit hours toward an associate degree in criminal justice.

The college’s next Basic Academy for BLET begins October 3. To learn more, please contact (252) 618-6613 or taylorb@edgecombe.edu.
