“This is an incredible accomplishment that only one VA Police Officer can earn out of a class of 75 students,” said Montana VA Police Chief, Marc White. “The student with the highest accumulated score earns Honor Graduate, which is publicly acknowledged in front of his peers at graduation. Bobby earned a total score of 97.2%. Bobby also earned the Leadership Award. These achievements speak volumes about Detective Wilcher’s dedication and focus to VA Police and the VA as a whole.”
