DAYTON -- 20 new police officers are sworn in to the Dayton Police department during a ceremony at Sinclair Community College tonight.
The new officers completed a six month training course at the Dayton Police Academy.
This year's class represents a diverse group of new officers, including two women, two African-Americans, and one Hispanic officer.
One new officer spoke with us about the challenging training process.
"I don't have a military background, so I never was challenged physically and mentally like this thing'', Officer Karim Hassan told us, ''but it really worked with me from the first day for it, so it really worked well for me and changed me a lot."
The winners of the top academic, top firearms, and top physical fitness awards were also recognized at the ceremony.
The Dayton Police Department is looking for recruits for its next class. You can sign up until next Friday, April 19th.
