His presence highlighted the importance of this occasion, as he delivered words of wisdom and encouragement to the students, urging them to remain steadfast in their journey to becoming leaders in law enforcement.
This event holds great significance for the students of the College of Criminal Justice Education. The moment they received their epaulettes was more than just a formality—it was a symbol of their hard work, dedication, and the challenges they’ve overcome during their studies. For the KAHIDASIG Class, the epaulettes represent the progress they’ve made toward their dreams and the bright future ahead in the field of law enforcement.
