Niagara University President Rev. James J. Maher, Niagara County Sheriff Michael Filicetti and Niagara Falls Superintendent of Police John Faso released the following joint statement:

“Today we met to discuss the university’s initial request to move the Niagara County Law Enforcement Academy (NCLEA) graduation from campus. The university provided a number of options to host the graduation at the university, however, the recruits have now expressed a desire to the Sheriff’s Office that the event be held elsewhere, and we will respect their wishes.”

“Our meeting this morning was productive and, understanding that direct and honest dialogue is always the best option, we each agreed on the need for more open communication between institutions in resolving these matters and issues in the broader community. We look forward to continuing our important work together.”
