KSP Academy Training Begins
KENTUCKY...
The Kentucky State Police academy welcomed its latest class of cadets Sunday. The 23-week program held in Frankfort included 93 applicants from 63 communities across the state. Physical training started immediately, a physical fitness test required the first day. It included bench press requirements, sit ups, push ups, a 300 meter run and a one-and-a-half mile run. For those who survived the first-day physical test, classwork followed. Cadets required to complete more than 1,000 hours of classroom and field study during the course of the 6-month program. Right now there are 873 troopers in Kentucky, KSP's lowest strength in 30 years. The agency is authorized to have 1,070 troopers.
