A new class of State Troopers are ready to hit the road to serve the people of Nebraska. During a ceremony Friday morning at the State Capitol, members of the Nebraska State Patrol’s 68th Basic Recruit Class received their badges and were sworn-in.
“We’re incredibly grateful for these six troopers who are joining our ranks,” says Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “It’s a great team and they are going to get out and serve Nebraska. They are ready. They are well trained. They have the right mindset to be public servants.”
The six members of Camp 68 come to NSP from several communities across Nebraska, including Braden Heidbrink of Lincoln. The recruits were recognized for outstanding performance in several areas of training. Heidbrink was the recipient of the D.R. Shearer Marksmanship Award as well as the Captain Mark Williams Core Values Award.
The newly sworn-in troopers have completed 22 weeks of intense training, including extensive live-action training scenarios and rigorous academic instruction. They will now be paired with veteran troopers in the field training process.
