Governor Kay Ivey on Wednesday hosted the 21 Trooper Trainees set to graduate from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA)’s Training Center.

The governor greeted the Trooper Trainees on the steps of the Alabama Governor’s Mansion, offered words of gratitude, her congratulations and then invited them to the courtyard at the Mansion for a reception to honor their accomplishment.

Governor Ivey issued the following statement:

“I was honored to host and meet with our 21 trooper graduates today. Public safety is paramount in Alabama, and these men and women will play an important role in keeping our state safe. I shared that if they keep working hard and do their job well then I know they will surely make Alabama proud.” – Governor Kay Ivey

Governor Ivey closed her comments by letting them know she has their backs. On Thursday, November 21, 2024, at 11:30 a.m., the 21 Trooper Trainees will graduate from the ALEA Training Center on the campus of Wallace State Community College in Selma. The trainees satisfactorily completed 10 consecutive weeks of training to become ALEA troopers. 20 of the graduates will be assigned to ALEA’s Highway Patrol Division and one will join the ranks of ALEA’s Marine Patrol Division.

This is the second trooper class for 2024. The first graduated 25 troopers last summer.
