Indianapolis, IN - Recently, eleven Probationary Troopers graduated from the 83rd Indiana State Police Academy. Of those eleven graduates, Probationary Trooper Azariah Keith, Probationary Trooper Robert Kuhn and Probationary Trooper Braiden Lyons were assigned to the Indianapolis Post.
The three troopers will now begin the next phase of instruction, a three-month field training period, working alongside veteran troopers. Field training aims to give troopers a practical application to the training they received throughout the formal academy. Upon completing field training, the troopers will be assigned a state police patrol vehicle and begin their solo patrol. These troopers have already completed over 1,200 hours of structured training in law enforcement techniques and hands-on, scenario-based training at the Indiana State Police Recruit Academy. Their curriculum included criminal law instruction, emergency vehicle operations, psychology, traffic law, crash investigation, self-defense, first responder, and other general law enforcement-related training.
Indiana State Police Indianapolis District Commander, Lieutenant Josh Watson, said. "We are proud to welcome Trooper Keith, Trooper Lyons and Trooper Kuhn to our district, they will join our veteran troopers and become engaged and immersed into the communities we serve, providing dedicated, compassionate and comprehensive law enforcement services"
Upon successful completion of his field training, Keith, Kuhn and Lyons will all be assigned to patrol Marion County.
