State Police inspects officers, equipment from head to toe

Special to the Tribune-Star

The Indiana State Police Post at Terre Haute conducted its annual inspection of personnel and equipment Monday at the Riley Firehouse. Commanders inspected the appearance, commission and equipment of 61 officers ranging in rank from trooper to lieutenant. The inspections are conducted once a year at all 18 State Police districts.

During the inspection, each officer is personally inspected for proper grooming and uniform appearance.

The officer’s firearms are then examined for cleanliness and serviceability. The police commission is next and inspected for cleanliness both inside and out, as well as the trunk. Finally, all equipment issued to the officer is accounted for and inspected. Those items include such things as clothing, shoes, radar, computer, camera, baton, mace and any other miscellaneous equipment.

At the conclusion of the individual unit’s inspection, the inspecting commander gave the officer a rating of unsatisfactory, marginal, satisfactory, superior or outstanding. Troopers who received an unsatisfactory rating will have to complete the process again at another district until he or she passes.

Indiana State Police is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. The department has a rich history in providing the best law enforcement service possible to the citizens of Indiana. In doing this, the department holds the individual officer responsible for the utmost cleanliness and care of all issued equipment.

“The results of this inspection are a direct indication of the commitment and pride our troopers have in adhering to the standard of excellence required of Indiana State Police troopers,” said Lt. Mike Eslinger, commander of the Terre Haute District.
