🇺🇸 September 11 — We Remember

Today, the Weber State University Law Enforcement Academy, Class 138, paused to remember and honor the thousands of innocent men and women who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and the countless families, friends, and communities forever changed by that tragic day.

Our academy cadets and PT instructors honored the day together with a hike to Flag Rock in Farmington, taking time to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and service demonstrated by so many on 9/11.

We especially remember the police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, and other first responders who ran toward danger while others were running away. Their courage and selflessness serve as an enduring example of what it means to put the lives of others before your own.

As a law enforcement academy, we have a responsibility to ensure their sacrifice is never forgotten. We honor their legacy by preparing the next generation of public safety professionals to serve with integrity, courage, respect, and a commitment to others.

Today, we remember those we lost.
We honor those who served.
And we remain grateful for those who continue to serve.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Rachel Badali, Public Relations Director at Weber State University, recently wrote a fantastic story highlighting one of our graduating cadets, Zachary Olsen, who is now serving with the Layton City Police Department.

Zachary exemplifies the leadership, dedication, and character that make a difference in our profession. He is an inspiration to his fellow officers, our academy cadets, and the communities he serves. Our communities are safer and stronger because of men and women like Officer Olsen.

As a reminder, registration for our August academy is closing soon. If you've been considering a career in law enforcement, now is the time to take the next step. Register today and begin a career that will give back tenfold what you invest in it—through service, purpose, lifelong friendships, and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference every day.

In just a few months, Zachary Olson will graduate from Weber State University’s Law Enforcement Academy and enter the police force. It’s a swift transition for Olson, who was on a Ph.D. track in robotics and mechanical engineering just one year ago.

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this event. I’m sure it’s no easy task, but words cannot fully express our gratitude for the memories created and the impact this event has on the law enforcement community.

The lessons it teaches, the relationships it strengthens, and the reminder to truly "live your dash" make a lasting difference in the lives of those who participate. Thank you for your commitment to supporting law enforcement and for making this meaningful experience possible.

We are looking forward to 2027! SEE YOU THEN!

What a meaningful week to celebrate a Law Enforcement Academy graduation during National Police Week.

Class 137 graduated today with their Law Enforcement Officer certifications. The class began in January with 30 cadets. In March, 14 cadets completed their Special Function Officer (SFO) and/or Basic Correctional Officer (BCO) certifications, and today, 13 cadets completed their LEO certifications. It has been quite a journey for each of these men and women.

Many of these cadets have now been hired by and are serving with the Layton Police Department, Layton Fire Department, Logan Police Department, North Park Police Department, Ogden Police Department, South Jordan Police Department, South Ogden Police Department, West Valley Police Department, and the Weber County Sheriff’s Office.

Congratulations to all of the graduates, and thank you for your commitment to serving your communities.
