And balance your safety, with the need to be compassionate public servants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lacey warned that on the street, the grads will see more of the worst and darkest elements of society than anyone else. He urged them to not let that darkness overtake them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe connected to your community,\u201d Lacey counseled. \u201cStay connected with something positive.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"tncms-region-article_instory_middle\" class=\"tncms-region hidden-print\"><\/div>\n<p>Of the 14 graduates, two will immediately join the ranks of local law enforcement. Aaron Coney is the newest deputy at the Niagara County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p>Darren DeSants will be the newest cop on the beat in Niagara Falls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour work is not simply work,\u201d Niagara University President the Rev.
