Two local individuals who recently graduated from the 77th Indiana State Police Recruit Academy have been assigned to their specific posts.
On Monday, 29-year-old Timothy Borsa was officially welcomed into the Indiana State Police Lowell Post. Borsa is originally from Marshall County but currently resides in Porter County. He graduated from Triton Senior High School in Bourbon and studied conservation at Vincennes University.
Benjamin Beers, a 21-year-old originally from Knox, joined the ranks of the Indiana State Police Toll Road Post earlier this week. Beers gradated from Foundations Christian School in Plymouth and earned an Associate’s Degree in Criminal Justice from Ancilla College.
Borsa and Beers will each spend the next 13 weeks training with veteran troopers before receiving their own police vehicles. At that point they’ll be able to conduct solo patrols.
As a Lowell District Trooper, Borsa’s potential coverage spans across Lake, Porter, La Porte, Newton Jasper, Pulaski and Starke Counties. While working with the Toll Road Post, Beers will be assigned to cover Porter, La Grange and St. Joseph Counties.
