(Versailles, Ind.) - Two graduates of the 84th Indiana State Police Recruit Academy have been assigned to the Versailles Post.

On Thursday night, the latest ISP Recruit Academy completed its graduation ceremony in the Indiana State Capitol Rotunda.

After the commencement address from ISP Superintendent Douglas Carter, the oath of office for the 28 new ISP Troopers was delivered by the Honorable Justice Christopher Goff, of the Indiana Supreme Court.

Among the new ISP Troopers is Tyler J. Busch, of Aurora, and Jordan R. Hartmann, of Milan.

Both have been assigned to the Versailles District.

Their graduation marked the culmination of 24 weeks of intense training which totaled more than 1,100 hours. Some subject areas of training included criminal and traffic law, de-escalation, emergency vehicle operations, defensive tactics, firearms, impaired driving detection, scenario-based training, and a host of other academic subjects related to modern policing.

Once at their assigned district, the new troopers will spend the next three months working side by side with a series of experienced Field Training Officers. The purpose of the field training is to put to practical application the training received throughout the formal academy training. Upon successful completion of field training, the new troopers will be assigned a state police patrol vehicle and will begin solo patrol in their assigned district.
