The Mysteries of Being a NJ State Trooper
The New Jersey State Police Academy is located in Sea Girt, New Jersey, and training consists of approximately 24 weeks. The Academy is residential, and each recruit is required to report for training on each Monday at 6:00 a.m. The recruits are dismissed each Friday at approximately 6:00 p.m. Each recruit is provided a bed, linens and a locker, and will be housed in a dormitory setting consisting of ten recruits per room. The recruits are required to care for their own equipment, as well as the cleanliness and orderliness of the Academy grounds. The recruits and their quarters are subject to random inspections by the training staff, and each class stands for a formal inspection on three occasions. Each day begins with roll call at 6:00 a.m. followed by military drill and the raising of the colors. The Academy provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day at the mess hall. Each day recruits follow a rigorous training schedule, which culminates with lights out at 10 p.m.
