Thirty-three new officers are getting ready to head out on the streets after graduating from the New Haven Police Academy on Friday night.
The officers received their badges at a ceremony at Hill Regional Career High School in New Haven after completing more than six months of training.
Twenty-five officers will join the New Haven Police Department, six will serve in East Haven and the remaining two will join the police forces in Madison and Trumbull.
