ISP’s new troopers in Sellersburg receive patrol cars

SELLERSBURG — Indiana has 38 new troopers assigned to state police districts throughout the state now patrolling the roads.

Members of the 71st Indiana State Police Recruit School that graduated March 16 received their patrol cars Monday at the Indiana State Police Museum in Indianapolis. The troopers received 917 hours of structured training at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. Their curriculum included administrative subjects, general police subjects, investigations/criminal subjects, criminal and traffic law subjects.

Sellersburg has two new troopers — Joshua Graves, originally from Floyd County, will be assigned to patrol Clark County and Nicholas Yaeger, originally from Clark County, will be assigned to patrol Washington County.

The new troopers then completed a three-month field training period with seasoned troopers where they were observed applying the knowledge and training that had been gained at the academy and applying it to real life situations.
