2023 Broome County Sheriff's Law Enforcement Academy Graduation Video

Congratulations to the 2023 Graduating Class of the Broome County Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Academy.

“You are so important to all of us. You will be the example some young boy or girl will turn to when they say, ‘I want to grow up to be a cop.’ Be the example they need you to be. You will be pressed and you will come to a breaking point and you will remember the training and the trainers who taught you to deescalate, to navigate and mitigate and to instead of breaking in that moment, showing the strength and compassion that they know and you know you have. You will be asked to respond at times when no one else will. Please be the example we know you are. Always. You have been made for this very moment, and you, with the training and time that you’ve poured in, will rise to the occasion.” – Congressman Marc Molinaro


“Many other instructors and I have done everything possible to prepare you for a career in law enforcement. We have given you the base knowledge, concepts, tactics and mental toughness to succeed. It’s up to you to apply them, to improve them and to strive for more. Always be professional and treat people with respect. Don’t forget what you have learned here.” – Broome County Sheriff's Law Enforcement Academy Director Lt. Jan Cower.
