Hilton Senior Citizen Police Academy
Graduation Ceremony

On Thursday, May 27, Seniors who took part in the Sheriff's Office Senior Citizens Police Academy were recognized during a ceremony that took place at the Hilton Community Center.

Sheriff Patrick O'Flynn, Undersheriff Daniel Greene, Zone C Captain Michael Nyhan, Sergeant Bob Clar and deputies Charles Campanella, Tom Mancarella, Dan Lyon and Mark Wiest recognized the seniors for their achievement.

The 8-week academy is designed to familiarize the senior citizens of our community with the Office of Sheriff. During the course of the academy, seniors toured the Hall Of Justice, Zone C substation, Public Safety Training Facility, and viewed the Specialized Units demonstration where they were introduced to members of the Hazardous Device Squad (HDS), K-9, Hostage Recovery Team (HRT), SWAT, Mounted Unit and SCUBA unit. The seniors had an up close look at the vehicles and equipment used by each unit that was represented.
