“We tell them to be the change they want to see. I didn’t have any family on the job. I wanted to become the change.'
CLEVELAND — While a program put on by the Cleveland Division of Police aims to bolster its recruitment efforts, the program’s primary purpose is to develop and mentor the community’s next wave of leaders.
“This program is an amazing one; I wish I had this opportunity when I was younger,” Calhoun said. “We tell them to be the change they want to see. I didn’t have any family on the job. I wanted to become the change. I love the opportunity that I have to become mentors for these kids and also continue on that mission of getting more productive citizens on the job. Some want to be police officers. Some want to go off to school. My goal is just to produce productive citizens with these kids.
This year’s police explorer class features a diverse group of young adults, including Olivia Vera, Tiara Cammon, Jim Kulikowski, and Sam Ali II. “I plan on going to the academy and becoming a police officer to keep giving back and helping others,” Tiara Cammon said. “I grew up not having a lot of confidence, being shy. This program has showed me how to be disciplined.”
