How often do DPS Troopers undergo training and re-certification?

DPS Troopers typically undergo training and re-certification regularly at predetermined intervals set by the department. This approach ensures that law enforcement personnel remain up to date with the latest laws, procedures, and technologies relevant to public safety and law enforcement. Regular training helps maintain a high level of competence and readiness among Troopers, enabling them to effectively handle the dynamic and often challenging situations they may encounter in the field.

This ongoing professional development also addresses changes in legal standards, procedural updates, and advances in law enforcement practices, which are crucial for ensuring that Troopers can perform their duties safely and effectively. Training and re-certification are vital components of a Trooper's professional responsibilities and overall effectiveness in serving and protecting the community.
