SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Friday brought a law enforcement graduation ceremony in Sioux Falls with a class that reflects the wide variety of people in South Dakota’s biggest community. For graduate Kaeley Dixon, Friday’s ceremony for the group of 21 men and women from the state law enforcement academy brings a sense of fulfillment.
“It was awesome, very rewarding,” the 21-year-old Dixon said. “We’ve worked really hard to get here: very long journey. We still got a long ways to go. We’re not everything we want to be yet but we’re a lot of things that we wanted to be 16 weeks ago, which is pretty cool.”
All 21 graduates come from the Sioux Falls Police Department. For Dixon, the city’s size is motivation to serve in this department.
