Proud day for BPD
The 130-plus strong Boston Police Academy Recruit Class #63-23 graduated Friday at the Convention Center in the Seaport with a nod to family tradition. Sgt. Winston DeLeon was able to pin his son, Winston M. DeLeon Jr. in what now is a true blue family memory. Both were front and center two decades ago.
