The members of the 108th Dayton Police Recruit Class were sworn in at City Hall.
The class included 20 officers for Dayton and one for the University of Dayton.
“It’s a little surreal,” said Casey Staples, a new officer from Centerville. “Six months of hard work, being with the same people over and over again, going through things I thought I would never go through.”

The recruit class will also participate in a formal graduation ceremony tonight at Stivers High School.
