New State Troopers Graduate from Police Academy including Three from Schuylkill County


On Friday, Colonel Robert Evanchick, commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police, announced that 103 cadets have graduated from the Pennsylvania State Police Academy. 

The class was the 163rd to graduate from the academy in Hershey since it opened in 1960.

"Being a trooper is a difficult undertaking," said Colonel Evanchick. "It is sometimes only self-rewarding, many times perilous, and at all times demanding. It is not a job; it is a way of life."

Four cadets received special awards and recognition during today's ceremony at LCBC Manheim in Lancaster County:
  • Sean M. Mullins received the: American Legion Award for all-around academic, physical, ethical, and moral qualifications; John K. Schafer Memorial Award for the highest combined score on a series of physical skills tests; and Sergeant Charles B. Gesford High Pistol Award for the highest score on the department's pistol qualification course
  • Monica M. Carl received the Ronald M. Sharpe Leadership Award for exemplifying the qualities of leadership
  • Brandon J. Young received the Daniel F. Dunn High Scholastic Award for the highest level of academic achievement in the class
  • William A. Moyer, from Schuylkill County, received the Colonel Paul J. Chylak Memorial Driver Proficiency Award for the highest proficiency in driver safety training

Two of the graduates reside in Schuylkill County and were former Shenandoah Police Officers and graduates of Shenandoah Valley:

  • William A. Moyer


Lucas G. Roshannon also graduated today and is a native of Ashland and a graduate of North Schuylkill.
