New York State Police Superintendent Steven G. James emphasized the rigorous training, stating that the curriculum involved 'six months of difficult classwork, physical training and sacrifice.' The ceremony showcased a video presentation demonstrating the comprehensive training the 215th Basic School Session underwent, highlighting both academic and physical challenges faced by the new graduates.
Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the graduation of three Brooklynites - Steven Hochman, Anaya Pastrana, and Amderson Rimpel - who joined the ranks of 181 new State Troopers. Their inclusion increases the total number of sworn members to 5,183, reflecting a significant boost in personnel for public safety.
The new troopers are set to embark on their field duties on Oct. 23, where they will undergo a rigorous 10-week evaluation program supervised by senior Field Training Officers to ensure their readiness for operational responsibilities.
