To become a Trooper, recruits must successfully complete six months of training at the State Police Academy - located at 340 West Brookfield Road in New Braintree, Massachusetts. Recruits live at the academy Monday through Friday during this period. The Recruit Training Program is both mentally and physically challenging.
Recruits receive classroom instruction and physical training in a strict, paramilitary environment.
Those who graduate, do so with the confidence and knowledge needed to be a Massachusetts State Trooper.
