After receiving more than 300 hours of classroom and field instruction in nearly 50 different subjects, including defensive tactics, cultural diversity, bias-free and community relations, crime scene investigation, ethics and leadership, police professionalism, firearms, judicial procedures, officer survival and crisis management, the 34 members of the Virginia State Police 138th Basic Session were presented their diplomas Dec. 30.
After graduation, the 138th will return to the Academy for three weeks of hands-on training before heading to their assigned area, where each Trooper will spend an additional six weeks paired up with a Field Training Officer learning his or her new patrol area. Three of the new graduates are assigned to Henrico County: Zachary Michael Bishop, Joshua Louis Johnson, and Trenzas D. Whitley.
