Forty-four Members of LSP Cadet Class 107 Graduate Training Academy
Baton Rouge – This morning, 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. 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. During this period, they received comprehensive instruction in areas such as crash investigation, emergency vehicle operations, impaired driving detection, fair and impartial policing, legal updates, advanced firearms training, leadership skills, and a rigorous physical training regimen. Surrounded by family, friends, and fellow Troopers, these cadets earned their Louisiana State Police badge today.
With the training academy now complete, the new Troopers will be assigned across the state and will participate in a 16-week field training program under the guidance and supervision of experienced Field Training Officers.
