Michael Kelly said he remembers his first day at the Jersey City Police Academy like it was yesterday.
Kelly and his classmates were lined up outside of a building at Caven Point, where the academy used to be. A drill sergeant marched from the distance and appeared before them wearing high leather boots, a leather strap across his chest and a big hat.
