Criminal Justice Training Center Cadets Graduate in Virtual Ceremony
On Saturday, August 29, 2020, the Napa Valley College Criminal Justice Training Center (CJTC) hosted a virtual graduation ceremony to honor the students for their noteworthy achievements. The students underwent demanding training during some particularly challenging times. “It has been daunting times for this class. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a training delay that significantly stressed their lives yet they persevered, achieving their goals,” said Damien Sandoval, director, NVC Criminal Justice Training Center. “We acknowledge their determination and extraordinary focus.” The ceremony was limited to students and academy staff in an effort to comply with social distancing requirements, with friends and family invited to participate on Zoom. The 19 graduates received graduation programs, diplomas, certifications, and special recognition awards as part of the event and will move on to jobs with the DMV, Napa County Sheriff, City of Pinole and California Department of Insurance, among others.
