Oregon State Police to add 10 new troopers
Friday, March 27, 2009 |
PORTLAND (AP) - Oregon State Police say 10 trooper recruits are ready to head to their first posts, and 20 more will start training in May - the last class in a push begun two years ago to boost patrols throughout the state.
The recruits are to graduate Friday from the Oregon Public Safety Academy. They will be assigned to work out of Springfield, Albany, Newport, Pendleton, Salem and The Dalles.
Nine of the recruits will be assigned to patrol duties, and one will work in the patrol's Fish and Wildlife Division.
Superintendent Timothy McLain says the troopers were hired and trained with funding approved by state lawmakers in 2007.
