LINCOLN, Nebraska - A new class of Nebraska State Patrol troopers were sworn-in during a ceremony at the Capitol Friday morning. The new troopers represent the 61st Basic Recruit Class in Nebraska State Patrol history.
“Today is a proud day for the Nebraska State Patrol,” said Colonel John Bolduc. “Every graduation marks an important accomplishment for these new troopers, who’ve dedicated the lives to serving Nebraska. They’ve chosen to join a proud team and have earned every stitch of the NSP patch they now wear.”
The nine-member class of Camp 61 completed 22 weeks of training at the Nebraska State Patrol Training Academy in Grand Island.
This class includes troopers hailing from several communities throughout Nebraska, Florida, Kansas, and Michigan. Camp 61 also includes the first married couple to attend and graduate from the training academy together in NSP history.
The troopers will now undergo six months of on-the-job instruction with veteran troopers in the field.
