On Thursday, the 82nd Indiana State Police Recruit Academy completed its graduation ceremony in the Indiana State Capitol Rotunda.
After the commencement address, the oath of office for the 18 new State Police officers was delivered by The Honorable Justice Christopher M. Goff, of the Indiana Supreme Court.
Each new trooper was then presented their badge and official identification by ISP Superintendent Doug Carter and his staff.
The graduation marked the culmination of 23 weeks of intense training which totaled more than 1,100 hours.
Each graduating trooper will be assigned to one of 14 State Police Posts across Indiana.
Once at their assigned district, the new troopers will spend the next three months working side by side with a series of experienced Field Training Officers.
