Wheat Ridge Police Department

One of the largest classes in WRPD history 👀

Please give a warm Wheat Ridge welcome to the EIGHT fine people that just graduated from the Combined Regional Academy! These folks started learning the ropes to become P.O.S.T. certified officers in January and have been working hard ever since until this moment. This is an incredible accomplishment.

Starting Monday, they will learn the Wheat Ridge way, as they grow to understand our culture, Relationship-Based Policing and shadow their Field Training Officers for the next four to five months.

This academy class also puts our department in the strongest staffing position we’ve seen during Chief Murtha’s tenure, allowing us to bolster patrol and respond to emergencies even faster. We appreciate our community’s continued support of our mission. Because you support our department and our purpose, we have become a destination.

Congratulations, and welcome to the WRPD Family 👏 👏 👏
