Indiana State Police Bloomington Post Receives Three New
Troopers
Bloomington – Lieutenant Paul
Bucher, Commander of the Bloomington District, welcomes three new troopers to
serve Monroe, Morgan, Brown, Greene, Owen & Lawrence Counties.
On October 19th, 33 troopers graduated from the Indiana State
Police Recruit School after completing 24 weeks of intense training that
exceeded 1,000 hours. Some subject areas of training included criminal and
traffic law, crash investigations, emergency vehicle operations, defensive
tactics, firearms, and a host of other subjects related to modern policing.
Each graduating trooper was assigned to one of 14 State
Police Posts across Indiana. The troopers will now spend the next three months
working side by side with a series of experienced Field Training Officers. Upon
successful completion of field training, the new troopers will be assigned a
state police vehicle and will begin solo patrol at their assigned district.
