This morning, December 31st, Troopers Ted Clamme, Josh Greer, David Jacobs and Paul Stolz Jr, reported to the Evansville District for their first official day. The Indiana State Police recently graduated 82 new troopers from the Indiana State Police Academy on December 21st. The new troopers have received approximately 840 hours of structured training in law enforcement techniques since the class began on July 14th. Their curriculum included 80 hours of criminal law instruction, 50 hours of vehicle operations training, 30 hours of psychology and 40 hours of “Survival Spanish.” They also developed skills in criminal investigation, vehicle crash investigation and impaired driver prevention and detection. Trooper Ted Clamme, 26, is a native of Hartford City and a 1999 graduate of Blackford High School. He later attended Ball State University and received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Telecommunications. He is currently residing in Mt. Vernon. Trooper Josh Greer, 22, is a native of Boonville and a 2004 graduate of Boonville High School.
