“Today’s start of the 85th R.TT. serves as an important step toward ensuring that the Commonwealth’s State Police force is adequately staffed to fulfill our core mission of serving and protecting Massachusetts’ residents and visitors and making our roadways safer,” said Colonel Christopher S. Mason, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police.
Over the next 23 weeks, Recruits based at the Academy compound in rural New Braintree will receive instruction in police procedures; criminal and motor vehicle laws; defensive tactics; ethics; departmental policies, rules and regulations; firearms and other use of force equipment; emergency first aid; physical training; and emergency driving. The training will be conducted by MSP drill instructors, classroom instructors, and specialized subject matter experts.
We will post photos periodically throughout their training in this album. Check back over the next 23 weeks.
