HEADQUARTERS NEWS RELEASE November 24, 2014 Colonel Edmonson Conducts Orientation for Louisiana State Police Cadet Class #93 BATON ROUGE – This morning, State Police Superintendent Colonel Mike Edmonson welcomed the future cadets of the upcoming State Police Cadet Class #93. Colonel Edmonson spent the morning addressing the future cadets and their family members about the honor of being selected to begin training. This weekend, the Louisiana State Police Training Academy will welcome this select group of men and women aspiring to serve the citizens of Louisiana as State Troopers. After spending the Thanksgiving holidays with their families, the cadets will report to the LSP Training Academy in Baton Rouge on Sunday, November 30th, to start 20 weeks of intensive training before they earn the privilege of wearing the ”gold boot” badge of the Louisiana State Police.
