The Montana Highway Patrol (MHP) recently commissioned three new troopers at a graduation ceremony in Helena on September 6th. Attorney General Austin Knudsen and MHP Colonel Kurt Sager addressed the new troopers prior to their badge pinning and taking the oath of office.
“Their training has prepared the new troopers for the job ahead of them. I’m proud of their decision to join the Montana Highway Patrol and enter a career in law enforcement. They will do a great job keeping our roads, highways, and communities safe,” Attorney General Knudsen said in a press release.
“Our new troopers are ready to serve the citizens of Montana. I look forward to working with them throughout their careers with the Patrol. I’m confident they are prepared for the challenges ahead,” MHP Colonel Sager explained in the press release.
The new troopers were part of the 79th MHP Advanced Academy. They have spent 24 weeks going through an intense training schedule. The new troopers from Montana included Harlee Berg in Glendive, MT, Stefan Karchut in Kalispell, MT, and Bradley Smith in Helena, MT.
