On Sunday, July 6, the Michigan State Police welcomed 73 new recruits to the MSP Training Academy for the start of the 149th Trooper Recruit School adding to the nearly 750 new troopers hired and trained during Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s tenure. Investments proposed in Governor Whitmer’s Executive Budget for Fiscal Year 2026 continue the momentum.
