West Virginia state police welcomes new class of 19 troopers



The West Virginia state police welcomed 19 new members Friday when the 63rd cadet class graduated from the State Police Academy.
The ceremony was held at West Virginia State University in an auditorium packed with family members and fellow Troopers.
For the past 25 weeks the cadets attended class and underwent physical and mental training. Today they’ll report to their new detachments to begin work.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, who was on hand in September to administer the oath of office to 21 cadets, was the keynote speaker at Friday’s graduation.
