Cadet Training
Our academy delivers challenging academic work in a paramilitary environment. Our instructors are dedicated to providing cadets with the tools for success in a demanding training environment. Many people have never experienced academy-type training. Cadets must prepare themselves to be “told” what to do and when to do it.
A typical training day might look like this:
| 6 a.m. | Reveille | |
| 6:10 - 6:30 a.m. | Physical training | |
| 6:50 a.m. | Breakfast | |
| 7:15 - 7:40 a.m. | Assigned work duties | |
| 7:45 a.m. | Inspection | |
| 7:50 a.m. | Morning colors | |
| 8 - 11:45 a.m. | Classroom/practical training | |
| Noon - 1 p.m. | Lunch, assigned duties | |
| 1 - 5 p.m. | Classroom/practical training | |
| 5:10 p.m. | Retreat | |
| 5:15 p.m. | Dinner | |
| 6 - 9:55 p.m. | Practical training, study periods, or recreation | |
| 10 p.m. | Lights out |
Upon successful completion of training, cadets graduate to the rank of trooper. New troopers report to their post assignments for not less than 70 days of on-the-job training with a field training officer. The new troopers then return to the Academy for one more week of training in specialized areas.
