The Kentucky State Police (KSP) announced the graduation of 33 cadets from the KSP Training Academy. Three of the graduates will be serving at KSP Post 1.
Cadet Class 105 arrived at the KSP Academy on Nov. 10, beginning 24 weeks of demanding instruction and hands-on training required to become a state trooper. Cadet Class 105 underwent more than 1,000 hours of classroom and field study in subjects such as constitutional law, juvenile and traffic law, use of force, weapons training, defensive tactics, first aid, high speed vehicle pursuit, criminal investigation, computer literacy, hostage negotiations, evidence collection, radio procedures, search and seizure, crash investigation, drug identification, traffic control, crowd control, armed robbery response, electronic crimes, sex crimes, hate crimes, domestic violence, bomb threats and hazardous materials.
Cadet Class 105 graduates assigned to Post 1 are:
Connor Dunigan, Benton, Ky.
Spencer Redwine, Paducah, Ky.
Kessler Stacy, Paducah, Ky.
Seventeen cadets earned their associate degree in General Occupational and Technical Studies from the Bluegrass Community and Technical College during their 24-weeks at the training academy. These cadets benefited from the new hiring guidelines established by the state legislature in 2017. Through this revision, anyone who possesses a high school diploma or GED, and has three years of full-time work experience can apply for employment as a KSP Trooper and earn an associate degree during the training process. Post 1 troopers Connor Dunigan and Spencer Redwine earned their associate degree.
