LANSING, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – Two men from Grand Haven and one from Jenison are hoping to end 2018 as Michigan State Police troopers.
Dustin Garwood and Spencer Proefrock, along with Nathan Schaap, joined 146 others from across Michigan and five other states in beginning a 26-week-long session at the Michigan State Police Training Academy in Lansing. The candidates for the 134th Trooper Recruit School had to pass what MSP Director Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue calls a “stringent selection process that included a physical fitness test, a background investigation and a hiring interview.”
Six men from the Lakeshore earned state police trooper status last November – Kyle Bos of Hamilton, Michael Shaw of Allegan, Bradley Machiela of Zeeland, Matthew Slagter of Dorr, Austin Wolven of Hudsonville and Joseph Duff II of Grand Haven.
Graduation for the 134th school is slated for July 12th.
