Recruits Begin Their Training On May 2, 2005 Class #42-05 began its thirty week training period at the Boston Police Academy. It started with 71 police recruits from five different agencies (Boston Police, Weymouth Police, Boston University Police, Massachusetts Environmental Police & the Middlesex County Sheriff's Department) and the numbers soon began to dwindle down. The recruits who remain know that they have a long road ahead of them, but they also know that their hard work & dedication will eventually pay off when they are finally sworn in to their respective departments.
