Soucy & Carney graduate
Two Aroostook County men were among the 60 newest police officers graduating from the Maine Criminal Justice Academy in Vassalboro Dec. 14.
Eric Soucy of the Houlton Police Department and Jarad Carney of the Ashland Police Department both completed the 18 weeks of study and training. At their graduation, all 60 officers were urged to remember their families, practice sound ethics, and seek out new training.
The guest speaker was Brian MacMaster of Gardiner, who served 20 years on the academy’s Board of Trustees. MacMaster’s full time job is head of criminal investigations at the Maine Attorney General’s Office. MacMaster told the officers, “Always be mindful of the profound effect that you exert on individual lives, and why such responsibilities can only be entrusted to persons of the highest integrity and character.”
