Sixty new state troopers graduated from the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP)Law Enforcement Training Academy today. During a ceremony in Tallahassee which marked the conclusion of the intensive training period, Governor Charlie Crist congratulated the 118th Basic Recruit Class.
“I am proud to see the newest class of state troopers begin their careers in public service,” said Governor Crist. “They will help protect the millions of Floridians and visitors who travel our roadways daily, and many will save lives. Choosing to become a state trooper is a noble decision, one that requires personal sacrifice.”
Florida’s newest state troopers from the 118th class will report for duty by February 26, 2010.
The Florida Highway Patrol continues its recruitment efforts with the 119th Recruit Class, scheduled to begin in April 2010.
