Media Note:  Academy Class 431 is a largely international collection of backgrounds, reflective of the vast array of cultures found within Los Angeles County.  Of the 84 graduating recruits, 7 were born outside the United States in the countries of Armenia; Bosnia; Herzegovina; El Salvador; Haiti; Mexico; South Korea; Vietnam, recruits lived abroad in the countries of 14; and 43 recruits speak a language other than English, including Arabic, Armenian, Korean, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
 
These graduates bring with them a large source of higher education, service experience in the armed forces, and backgrounds in law enforcement, and many come from families with a tradition of serving in law enforcement.
 
The graduating recruits are willing to participate in media interviews.
