MONTGOMERY-Governor Kay Ivey on Tuesday hosted the 48 Trooper Trainees set to graduate from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA)’s Training Center.
Gathered on the steps of the Alabama Governor’s Mansion, the soon-to-be troopers were personally greeted by Governor Ivey, who offered words of gratitude, congratulations and encouragement before welcoming them into the Mansion courtyard for a reception in their honor.
Governor Ivey issued the following statement:
“These new troopers represent the very best of Alabama — men and women who have chosen a life of service, courage and integrity. They stand on the front lines of law and order, and their presence will be felt across all corners of our state as we continue strengthening public safety and law enforcement. I want each of them to know their governor has their backs as they proudly serve and protect the people of Alabama.” – Governor Kay Ivey
Governor Ivey closed her comments by reminding the new troopers that she, and the people of Alabama, stand firmly behind them as they begin their service.
The 48 Trooper Trainees of ALEA Trooper Class 2025-B will officially graduate Wednesday, October 22, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at the Montgomery Performing Arts Centre. This marks one of the largest graduating classes since the pre-pandemic era, underscoring Alabama’s continued commitment to strengthening public safety and enhancing trooper presence at a time when their service has never been more vital.
Of the 48 graduates, 41 will join ALEA’s Highway Patrol Division, serving communities from Madison County to Mobile County and everywhere in between. Four will add to ALEA’s Marine Patrol, and three will bolster Protective Services, which safeguards the State Capitol and other key state buildings.
Training for the class began in May for non-certified recruits, with APOST-certified officers joining in August — forming one large, unified class ready to serve.
Class 2025-B marks the first trooper graduation this year, continuing Governor Ivey’s and ALEA’s shared priority to ensure this state remains a safer Alabama for all.
