WATCH: DeKalb officer proposes at police graduation ceremony
A graduation transformed into a romantic celebration when a DeKalb County police officer popped the question after graduating from the police academy Friday.
New officer Quandre Walker proposed to his now-fiancé Kiaon during what seemed like an official police drill at the graduation ceremony for the 119th police academy class.
Walker ordered officers to turn around in unison; they were holding signs that said “Kiaon will you marry me?”
Video posted online by the DeKalb County Police Department showed the officers’ friends and family surprised reactions as Walker stepped forward and got down on one knee. His new fiancé emerged from the crowd and showed off the ring after saying yes to the proposal.
Watch the full video of the surprise proposal:
