CONGRATS TO THE FIRST GRADUATING CLASS OF THE 2026 BROCKTON POLICE CADET PROGRAM
We are proud to recognize an outstanding group of young people who successfully completed the first of two Junior Police Cadet sessions this summer.
Throughout the program, the cadets explored the profession of policing while building leadership skills, teamwork, discipline, physical fitness, and a commitment to serving their community.
Some cadets were recognized for their exceptional achievements throughout the program, and every graduate received a new laptop computer to support their educational journey.
Congratulations to all of our graduates! We are proud of your hard work and dedication, and we wish you continued success in the years ahead.
A special thank you to Brockton Police Cadets Sturdevant and Resende, Lt. Williams Schlieman, Officer Sandy McNair, our visiting officers from the K-9 Unit, CPR, and SRT, and especially Officer Derek Salamone, who leads the Junior Police Cadet Program. Thank you all for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to connecting with and building bridges between the Brockton Police and the young people in our community.

ONE GRADUATED.
BOTH WERE HONORED.
Yesterday was a proud day for the Miranda family and the Brockton Police Department (BPD), as Officer Raphael Miranda graduated from the Police Academy and both Miranda brothers were honored with the Executive Director's Award of Excellence.
Officer Raphael Miranda graduated from the Police Academy, officially beginning his career with BPD.
During the ceremony, academy officials surprised Officer Miranda and his brother, Brockton Police Detective Joe Miranda, with the Executive Director's Award of Excellence.
The brothers were recognized for their courage, professionalism, and actions during a critical off-duty incident last month, when they helped protect members of the public after gunfire erupted at a crowded graduation celebration.
As Officer Raphael Miranda begins his law enforcement career, he will now serve alongside his brother, continuing their shared commitment to protecting the City of Brockton.
Congratulations to Officer Raphael Miranda on his graduation, and to both Miranda brothers on this exceptional and well-deserved honor as they begin this next chapter together.
