Recognizing the effort put forth by our police recruits, the police academy and the Cape May County Chiefs Association afford our graduates one of the finest graduating ceremonies available. Graduation is held that the Middle Township Performing Arts Center located in Cape May Court House, New Jersey. This multi million dollar facility is one of the finest in the state seating fifteen hundred people.

The ceremony is professionally video taped and made available to each graduating officer. This is a special time for these graduates and their families who are most proud of their accomplishments.

My experience as a SLEO Class II in Stone Harbor was very rewarding. The training I received while at the Cape May County Police Academy was very educational and made me much more marketable when I was attempting full time employment as a police officer. The skills I learned and the practical experiance as a SLEO Two gave me the opportunity to prove my ability as a police officer. Following one summer as a SLEO I was hired as a full time police officer. I believe that the SLEO Two Program is an excellent stepping stone for someone looking to start a career in law enforcement.

I went through the SLEO Two program in the spring of 2000. I enjoyed working the summer in the City of Wildwood. I handled all kinds of police calls from domestic violence complaints, thefts, drug offenses, fights, to civil complaints. I worked the entire summer in a squad car with my partner who was a full time police officer. The experience I gained and education I received clearly made this the best decision I have ever made. I was recently hired as a full time police officer and attribute this experience my ability to be hired so rapidly.
