NBC 4: Police sources told NBC 4 President Barack Obama will attend next week’s CPD police recruit graduation ceremony. The 27 recruits gained nationwide attention while Obama promoted his federal stimulus plan. Obama mentioned the local class specifically several times.
The city announced the recruits’ layoffs last month. The recruits were reinstated Wednesday when Mayor Michael Coleman said $1.25 million in stimulus monies would pay their salaries through the end of 2009. The recruit class was scheduled tentatively to graduate Friday, March 6.
The 27 recruits were officially sworn in Friday morning, according to FOP President Jim Gilbert. They will be able to carry their badges and weapons during the ceremony. Gilbert said the recruits will attend refresher classes at the academy next week since they’ve been away for three weeks.
