Under the leadership of Officer Cetti, and with the dedication and support of Officer Berrios, our Tactical Team has grown in both strength and spirit. Together, alongside Officer Vazquez, Officer Cruz, Officer Silva, and Officer Singh, they have helped shape a program rooted in discipline, learning, and excellence. Each advisor has poured time, patience, and mentorship into our cadets, and we are truly grateful for their commitment.
Year after year, our cadets have shown up to the NERLEEA Tactical Challenge ready to work, ready to learn, and ready to represent. They compete with humility, courage, and unity — and the results speak for themselves.
Bridgeport may not always be recognized as the city that shines the brightest, but our cadets continue to prove that greatness grows here. Their perseverance, teamwork, and heart reflect the very best of our community and our department.
This program is about more than competition. It is about guiding our youth into leaders — leaders who carry themselves with integrity, confidence, and pride in where they come from. Whether we place first or not, our presence is always felt, because our cadets lead with purpose.
We are honored.
We are proud.
And we are just getting started.
Bridgeport stands strong because our youth stand strong.
