The Ocean City Police Department is proud to annouce the graduation of Justin Hoban from the Eastern Shore Criminal Justice Academy's 64th Class.
Hobas was formally recognized as a certified police officer of the OCPD after completing 24 weeks of rigorous training, which included classroom instruction, firearms instruction and defensive tactics. Hoban was born and raised in Selbyville, Delaware, where he graduated from Indian River High School in 2003.
After high school, Hoban played baseball for the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES). He began his career with the Ocean City Police Department as a seasonal officer in 2008, where he spent two summers on the midnight patrol shift.
After a six-month police academy, Hoban graduated third in a class of 16 with an academic average of 94.75%. In addition, he was distinguished as a "Pistol Expert" by qualifying in the 99 percentile for firearms.
Ocean City Police Chief Bernadette DiPino spoke during the graduation ceremony, which was held at Wor-Wic Community College on Friday, June 18, 2010. "Its an honor to welcome Officer Hoban to the Ocean City Police Department," commented Chief DiPino. "He possesses all the qualities necessary to be an outstanding police officer. He is a leader with great intellect and we are very excited to have him as a member of the OCPD."
Is is Hobas or Hoban dumb a$$, you have it both ways.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the big deal about this guy; there are over 100 officers on the OCPD and none got the press this one just received. Is he a relative or something ?
ReplyDeleteThats one hot Chief of Police!!!
ReplyDeleteChief DiPino treats her Officers with respect. The city of Ocean City treats the police well. Hoban is another fine officer to graduate from ESCJA. You need 95% to graduate from ESCJA with honors. A plack on the wall at the police academy shows who had top academic score for each class that graduates. Im a police officer and when i graduated i had a score of 94%. Ten other officers had higher scores than me. Chief DiPino offered me a job at that time and i told her that i signed a contract with SPD with the promise that a pay study would be completed and we would be taken care of. 7yrs later and what a mistake i made by being loyal to the city of Salisbury.
ReplyDelete7:42. Everyone left SPD, your turn. They will never live up to what they did. That is why in they have 100 times more offiers quit then retire. They were formed before 1800 and have only had about 10 retire. Salisbury has never given their officers what they deserve. The citizens must love what they get, they get what thye pay for. High crime.
ReplyDeleteIts Hoban, and hes a great dude... played ball with him for awhile... Congrats... all you haters just keep the mouth SHUT
