Three new troopers for the Indiana State Police are on solo patrol at the Terre Haute District: James M. Laney, patrolling Parke and Vermillion counties; and Michael J. Taylor and Weston L. Kuykendall, Sullivan County.
The three men were among 79 probationary troopers from the 68th Indiana State Police Academy class who were issued their State Police cars at the Indiana State Police Youth Education and Historical Center at the Indiana State Police Indianapolis District. The probationary officers recently completed a three-month field training period with veteran officers. They will serve a one-year probationary period before attaining permanent status as a trooper.
In addition to the three-month field training period, the new troopers have received about 840 hours of structured training in law enforcement techniques. Their curriculum included 80 hours of criminal law instruction, 50 hours of emergency vehicle operations training, 30 hours of psychology and 40 hours of “Survival Spanish.” They also developed skills in criminal investigation, vehicle crash investigation and impaired driver prevention and detection.
