FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

      61 NEW STATE TROOPERS GRADUATEFROM POLICE ACADEMY,
                     TAKE ASSIGNMENTS ACROSS CONNECTICUT

The Connecticut State Police graduated 61 new State Troopers, all members of the 120th Training Troop, on April 15, 2009.

Department of Public Safety Commissioner John A. Danaher III and Colonel Thomas Davoren, Commanding Officer of the State Police, congratulated the graduating class during a ceremony at Jorgensen Auditorium at the University of Connecticut.  Gov. M. Jodi Rell was the keynote speaker at the event.

The 120th training troop entered the Connecticut State Police Academy in October of 2008 and spent approximately 1,400 hours in the classroom. They spent many more hours training in physical conditioning, water rescue, driving and other specialized areas of police work.

The 61 members of this class began the process of becoming State Troopers more than a year ago. At that time, they applied for the positions, took the written test and the physical fitness assessment, along with observational and polygraph tests. 

At their graduation Wednesday, the newest Troopers were sworn in by Commissioner Danaher and assigned to one of 11 State Police troops located throughout Connecticut. Troopers will be assigned as follows:

Troop A, Southbury – 5 new Troopers

Troop B, Canaan – 3 new Troopers

Troop C, Tolland – 7 new Troopers

Troop D, Danielson – 6 new Troopers

Troop E, Montville – 5 new Troopers

Troop F, Westbrook – 5 new Troopers

Troop G, Bridgeport – 8 new Troopers

Troop H, Hartford – 8 new Troopers

Troop I, Bethany – 3 new Troopers

Troop K, Colchester – 5 new Troopers
