1/10/13 - Among the 115 men and women taking part in the 126th Michigan State Police Trooper Recruit School, are four Livingston County residents who will spend the next 21 weeks waking-up at 5 a.m. for 17 hour days of training. John Christensen of Brighton, Dennis Hartman of Fowlerville, Joel Perkins of Howell and Brian Poyhonen of Pinckney reported Sunday to the Michigan State Police Training Academy in Lansing where they will learn about everything from firearms to first aid, as well as criminal law, crime scene processing and precision driving. In order to be selected, recruits had to pass a stringent selection process that included a physical fitness test, background investigation and hiring interview. Recruits who successfully complete the training will graduate May 30. Another trooper recruit school is anticipated to begin in June, for which the department is actively recruiting. (JK)
