58 NEW STATE TROOPERS GRADUATE

 FROM ACADEMY, TAKE ASSIGNMENTS
ACROSS CONNECTICUT

   The Connecticut State Police graduated 58 new State Troopers, all members of the 121st Training Troop, on November 18, 2010.

   Department of Public Safety Commissioner James M. Thomas 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 121st training troop entered the Connecticut State Police Academy in May of 2010 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 58 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 Thursday, the newest Troopers were sworn in by Commissioner Thomas and assigned to one of 11 State Police troops located throughout Connecticut.

Troopers will be assigned as follows:

Troop A, Southbury – 6 new Troopers

Troop B, Canaan – 1 new Trooper

Troop C, Tolland – 6 new Troopers

Troop D, Danielson – 6 new Troopers

Troop E, Montville – 5 new Troopers

Troop F, Westbrook – 4 new Troopers

Troop G, Bridgeport – 11 new Troopers

Troop H, Hartford – 4 new Troopers

Troop I, Bethany – 4 new Troopers
