Newly Sworn PGPD Officer Pops the Question at Graduation Ceremony

As he and fellow Session 121 graduates officially joined the Prince George’s County Police Department Tuesday night, recruit Ricky Wu was keeping a secret. He’d hopefully have more than one reason to celebrate. Just minutes after the graduation ceremony wrapped up, now Officer Wu used the lights and stage at the First Baptist Church of Glenarden to mark another milestone—a marriage proposal. He asked his girlfriend of more than two years to marry him. The very surprised Ashley Le happily accepted!

It’ll be a whirlwind day for the newly engaged Officer Wu—who was honored as Outstanding Student Officer. He reports for his first day of duty this evening at District II.
