Bergen County Sheriff's Youth Leadership Academy

This Friday, September 30, ALL Cadets are required to attend the Graduation/Swearing-In/Promotional Ceremony for the Academy. Remember, regardless of what class you are from, we are all still One Academy, One Unit, and One Family, so EVERYONE must attend.

Cadets are to report to the Mahwah Law and Public Safety Institute at 1830 hours. The actual ceremony will commence at 1930 hours, so if you have family and friend attending, please let them know that is the time the actual ceremony will start.

Cadets are to be dressed in their uniform. For the benfit of the new cadets, the uniform is as followed:
Blue BDU pants, black belt, black boots, black 8-point military cover (hat), and Leadership Academy T-Shirt.
Make sure you are tucked in, neat, and squared away for the ceremony. For the females, make sure your hair is up, above the collar in a neat, military-like fashion.

You are all encouraged to invite family and friends, so invite as many people as you would like.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. I look foward to seeing everyone on Friday.

Thank you to all of the cadets, officers and everyone else who participated in today’s Adopt-A-Soldier collection drive. It was a huge success and we collected a lot of supplies and goods for the men and women of the New Jersey National Guard’s 2-113th Infantry – SECFOR Platoon & the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division.

I can’t express enough on how happy I am to see how everyone came together as a community to create these care packages for the troops. It is so important that no matter how many years have gone by, our nation’s brave men and women continue to put themselves in harm’s way and sacrafice themselves to protect and defend our rights and freedom.

Once again, thank you. You should all be very proud of what you did today. You really have made a difference. Hoorah!

JUST AS A REMINDER:

For anyone who is still confused, for tomorrow’s Adopt-A-Soldier collection drive,

ALL CADET SUPERVISORS: You are to report to the Court House at 0830.

ALL CADETS: You are to report to the Court House at 0900.

ALL NEW CADETS FROM THE 3rd CLASS WHO HAVE NOT BE SWORN IN YET: You are invited to attend the collection drive. You will also report to the Court House at 0900. If you have part of your uniform (e.g. BDU pants and boots), you can wear those with a navy blue T-shirt if possible. If not please dress appropriately. You now represent the Sheriff’s Office.

The actual event will run from 1100-1400 hours. We will be collecting in the parking lot outside of the Court House if you would like to invite anyone to come out and donate.

I look foward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

ATTENTION ALL CADETS:

For Sunday, we are asking for cadets to try to bring in large boxes (they DON’T have to be plain shipping boxes) that we can use to sort the items donated.

Also, if any cadets had boxes set up at libraries, local businesses, etc. (you know who you are) and need the items picked up for Sunday, please send me a message ASAP.

Thanks and hope to see everyone Sunday!
