Local Students Graduate from Police Trooper Program

Posted

Jenna Barlow and Dylan Sousa, who are both 16 years old and Rehoboth residents, recently graduated from the Massachusetts State Police Student Trooper Program in New Braintree, MA. Jenna and Dylan are both studying Criminal Justice at DR. The American Legion, Department of Massachusetts, Inc. sponsors a "Student Trooper Program" in cooperation with the Massachusetts State Police Academy every year.

The Student Trooper program is an intensive, one week, residential learning experience. The program is held at the Massachusetts State Police Academy in New Braintree and is mentally and physically demanding, including vigorous physical training such as running and calisthenics. The Massachusetts State Police Academy uses a paramilitary approach to training, and discipline is strict. Reveille is at 5:30 AM and "lights out" is at 9:00 PM. Both Jenna and Dylan had a great experience and would highly recommend this program to other young adults who have an interest in the criminal justice field.
