This past week, the Louisiana State Police announced the graduation of its 107th Cadet Class, consisting of 44 cadets who have completed their journey to becoming Louisiana State Troopers– including four coming to our local area.
The graduation ceremony was hosted by the Louisiana State Police Training Academy at First Baptist Church in Baton Rouge.
The cadets from across the state began their 24-week training at the Louisiana State Police Training Academy on June 22, 2025.
