RALEIGH—Thirteen new Troopers were graduated today from the 108th 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.”
"We are proud to welcome the 108th 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."
This is the first “Fast Track” class to graduate in the history of the Patrol. “Fast Track” schools accept applicants that have prior North Carolina Basic Law Enforcement Training. “Fast Track” schools are 16 weeks in length as compared to the traditional schools which lasts 29 weeks.
