Norman — The largest academy in the Norman Police Department’s history will graduate in a ceremony at 2 p.m. Friday at Bethel Baptist Church, 1717 W. Lindsey St.

The 22 graduating cadets will hear from guest speaker Kevin L. War, Cabinet Secretary of Safety and Security and Commissioner of Public Safety.
