Twenty probationary troopers graduated from the 87th Indiana State Police Academy.
From this group of newly appointed troopers, the Peru Post welcomed Probationary Trooper Jack Guyer to the ranks of District #16. Trooper Guyer is a native of Wabash and a graduate of Southwood High School in 2021. Trooper Guyer currently resides in Wabash County.
Trooper Guyer and each of his classmates have completed nearly 1,200 hours of structured training in law enforcement techniques and hands-on, scenario-based training while at the Indiana State Police Recruit Academy. Their curriculum included criminal law, traffic law, emergency vehicle operations, psychology, vehicle crash investigation, self-defense, use of force, first responder, firearms training, and other general law enforcement-related training requirements.
With the academy behind them, these probationary troopers now begin their next phase of instruction, a three-month field training period during which they will work alongside and under the close supervision of a Field Training Officer. Once they have successfully completed the field training program, they will then be assigned a state police patrol vehicle and begin their solo patrol duties.
Once Trooper Guyer begins patrolling on his own, his primary patrol area will be Miami County.
