It is our belief that the young men and women who participate in the
Student Trooper Program
will develop favorable attitudes toward Law Enforcement and will articulate those
attitudes throughout their communities and among their peers.
| The week long American Legion Student Trooper Program is conducted at the North Carolina Highway Patrol Training Center in Raleigh, North Carolina,
|
and is a cooperative
sponsorship of The NC American Legion and The NC Highway Patrol. |
| 
Cadets participate in morning physical training, close order drill, and
disciplined conduct throughout the day under the watchful eyes of counselors
and instructors.
|
Cadets participate in a wide variety of instructional sessions.
They learn the use of police skills, including drug detection, firearms safety,
and precision driving, just to name a few. There are also tours in Raleigh,
NC of the Capitol, Legislative Building, Governor's Mansion, and the Highway
Patrol Headquarters and Communications Center. Instructors from the NC Highway
Patrol other phases of Law Enforcement and related subjects are integrated into
the week's program. |
