Fifty-three Connecticut State Police trainees took an oath of office during a graduation ceremony Thursday at the Hartford Armory.
This year's class is made up of 38 men and 15 women.
During a 28-week period, the group completed more than 1,400 training hours, both online and in person.
They also completed physical conditioning, firearms training and active shooter responses.
Troopers will now be assigned to one of 11 state police troops.
