On Jan. 27 the Commonwealth graduated its 137th generation of Virginia State Troopers. The 31 graduates are from every corner of the Commonwealth, and also represent six other states, as well as the countries of the Dominican Republic and Egypt.
Three of the new graduates will report to individual duty assignments in Hanover/Henrico: Zackary James Lehman of Christiansburg, William Aaron Miller of Summersville, and George Fouad Zaki, whose hometown is Cairo, Egypt.
Since beginning their basic session June 30, the new troopers have received more than 1,300 hours of classroom and field instruction in more than 100 different subjects, including de-escalation techniques, strategies to assist people in mental health crisis, ethics and leadership, fair and impartial policing, constitutional law, emergency medical trauma care, and public and community relations.
For their final phase of training, each trooper will spend an additional six weeks paired up with a field training officer learning his or her new patrol area.
