Thirty-Two Cadets Graduate from AHC Law Enforcement Academy
JUNE 10, 2026- Thirty-two recruits graduated from Allan Hancock College’s Basic Law Enforcement Academy June 10 at the college’s Public Safety Training Complex in Lompoc.
The graduating recruits of Class #26-131 gathered with their friends and families
to celebrate the completion of more than 872 training hours required to graduate from
the academy and enter careers as peace officers. All of the recruits have already
been hired by Central Coast law enforcement agencies.
“This is the end of your academic training here at the academy, but your career and
your training are far from over,” Arroyo Grande Police Chief David Culver told the
graduates. “The real work is just beginning.”
During the academy, the recruits received training in community policing, search and seizure, firearms, ethics, investigation procedures, patrol techniques, arrest and control, physical training, CPR/First Aid, emergency vehicle operations and other important skills.
“While our academy journey may be ending, the relationships we built here do not end today,” said academy graduate, class valedictorian and newly-minted San Luis Obispo Police Department Officer Albert Unger. “Though we may serve in different cities and wear different patches, we will always share the bond of Class 131.”
The other academy’s graduates will be employed by the Paso Robles, Lompoc, Santa Barbara and Santa Maria police departments, as well as the San Luis Obispo County and Santa Barbara County sheriff’s offices.
