The Kentucky State Police Academy presented diplomas to 39 new troopers at ceremonies held in Frankfort Friday, October 28. Their addition to the force brings the agency’s strength to a total of 911 troopers serving the citizens of the commonwealth. KSP Commissioner Rick Sanders said he was pleased to welcome the 39 new troopers as they paid their dues to earn the patch and badge. The agency’s 94th cadet class began with 66 cadets, with 27 resigning during the rigorous 23-week training cycle. Each new trooper will be supervised by a training officer for six to eight weeks after reporting to their post assignments.
