Baton Rouge – This morning, Louisiana State Police announced the graduation of its 104th Cadet Class, consisting of 55 cadets who have completed their journey to becoming Louisiana State Troopers. The graduation ceremony was hosted by the Louisiana State Police Training Academy and held at Istrouma Baptist Church.
The 55 cadets from across the state began their 24-week training at the Louisiana State Police Training Academy on April 21, 2024. During this period, they received comprehensive instruction in areas such as crash investigation, emergency vehicle operations, impaired driving detection, fair and impartial policing, legal updates, advanced firearms training, leadership skills, and a rigorous physical training regimen.
