Father, Son Graduate From Police Academy Together

FORT WORTH, TX — A father and son have graduated from a Texas police academy together. Winston and Christian Edmondson have always been competitive, the two said in a KTVT report, and said the local academy gave them a new bond.

"For the last 5 months we've been getting up at 4:30am and driving to Fort Worth together," Winston, the father, wrote on Facebook. He told KTVT his decision to go into law enforcement was a long time coming.

"And I had been encouraging both my sons to get into law enforcement," he said.

Christian Edmondson has already accepted a police job, with the Flower Mound, Texas police department.

Winston Edmondson said he hopes the pair will inspire others to enter the field.

“I think it’s really neat that this story has motivated some people to apply,” he said on Facebook.
