ALBANY, N.Y. — Governor Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday 238 new troopers have graduated from the 217th session of the Basic School of the New York State Police Academy.

The graduation now increases the total NYS Police to around 5,110 sworn members.

"Our State Police represent the best of New York, offering nothing short of their full devotion each day to the safety and security of our communities," Governor Hochul said. "Public safety is my number one priority — and on behalf of all New Yorkers, I commend these 238 men and women for their selfless commitment to service and congratulate them on this extraordinary achievement."

The new troopers will begin field duty on October 27, where they will be evaluated under a field-training program for the next 10 weeks.
