RALEIGH—Thirty-nine new Troopers were graduated July 29th from the 107th Basic School of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol. They were sworn in during ceremonies at the Kerr Scott Building on the North Carolina State Fairgrounds.
"I welcome our newest Troopers to the Highway Patrol family," said Colonel Richard Holden, Patrol Commander. "I am confident these Troopers are prepared for the challenges that lie ahead on North Carolina’s highways."
Thirteen members of the class are college graduates, six have associate degrees, 15 have prior law enforcement experience, and 12 have prior military service.
"We are proud to welcome the 107th Basic School graduates as members of one of the nation's finest law enforcement organizations," said Bryan E. Beatty, secretary of the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety of which the Highway Patrol is a division. "They have joined a proud agency that has been making our highways safer since 1929."
The new Troopers mastered 1,201 hours of instruction in various law enforcement subjects, including accident investigation, criminal and constitutional law, firearms training, and precision driving. But their education is never over. On-the-job training and annual in-service schools boost a Trooper's expertise throughout his/her career.
The new Troopers report to their duty stations on Wednesday, August 13th, 2003.
