On June 27, 2012, nine police recruits graduated from the Hocking College Police Academy. Graduation marks the completion of three months of intensive training at the Academy.

Commander Tim Voris recognized Raymond S. Woodgeard and Carl F. Stump for perfect attendance and dedication to the Academy. Voris noted, "Both of the young men were prepared and on time each and every day, which says a lot about their dedication and commitment to training and their career choices."

Special awards were also presented to Deputy Mathew Mellinger of the Hocking County Sheriff's Office; Michelle Walker and Anna Horsky (Commander's Award of Excellence); and Aaron Moore and Jennifer Farmer (Distinguished Leadership awards). Alex Sinew was honored with the Clyde Beasley Service Award for his performance on skill level tests along with his leadership, hard work, and dedication to the Academy.

The Hocking College School of Public Safety also received a special gift as thanks for its support of military men and women attending Hocking College to further their careers in public service. Lieutenant Colonel Michael Troxel presented an American Flag that was flown over Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan to Dean of Public Safety Susan White, Commander Tim Voris, and Administrative Assistant Betty Dalton.

Troxel commented, "It is a privilege to see the young men and women from our local communities become successful police officers when they return home."
