Alumni Testimonial

"I want to express our deepest gratitude to the leadership of this STAR academy and the faculty of this academy. Your unwavering commitment to excellence and your passion for service have been our guiding lights. Every lesson, every correction, and every challenge has transformed us from civilians into the officers we are soon to be on the road in our respective communities and at our respective agencies. For that, we are profoundly thankful. You didn't just teach us, you mentored us, and you guided us." -Malik Clark (Police Academy, 2025)
