The 89th Recruit Class consisted entirely of full-time merit law enforcement officers, all of whom had a minimum of three (3) continuous years of law enforcement service. Because of that previous training and experience, this lateral academy contained nine (9) weeks of intense training which totaled nearly 300 hours. Some subject areas of training included criminal and traffic law, de-escalation, emergency vehicle operations, defensive tactics, firearms, impaired driving detection, scenario-based training, and a host of other academic subjects related to modern policing.
Each graduating Trooper was assigned to one of 14 State Police Posts across Indiana. The newly appointed Troopers will spend the next three months working side by side with a series of experienced Field Training Officers. The purpose of the field training is to put to practical application the training received throughout the formal academy. Upon successful completion of field training, the new Troopers will be assigned a State Police patrol vehicle and will begin solo patrol in their assigned district.
| Yesterday evening, a vehicle pursuit led to the arrest of Corey D. Tomlinson, 36, Clarksville, IN.
He was incarcerated in Spencer County to face preliminary charges for Resisting Law Enforcement with a Motor Vehicle Causing Serious Bodily Injury (Level 4 Felony), Battery on Law Enforcement Causing Serious Bodily Injury (Level 5 Felony), 3-counts Auto Theft (Level 6 Felony), 3-counts Theft (Level 6 Felony), Possession of Marijuana w/Prior (Class A Misdemeanor), Criminal Mischief (Class A Misdemeanor) and Three Felony Warrants Out of Oldham County Kentucky. ![]() At approximately 11:00 p.m., The Spencer County Sheriff’s Office received a call stating someone was stealing lawnmowers from a residence in Dale. Officers responded to the residence but were unable to locate the suspect. Information was received that the vehicle matching the description was observed on Interstate 64. The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office located the vehicle near the 86-mile marker off ramp. While attempting to stop the vehicle, the suspect fled Eastbound, leading officers on a pursuit. Trooper Nathan Teusch was able to deploy stop sticks, striking the left side tires of the vehicle. The vehicle continued Eastbound until the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office deployed stop sticks again, striking the remaining tires of the vehicle. The vehicle continued Eastbound until coming to a stop at the 100-mile marker. Tomlinson was taken into custody by Trooper Andrew Recker without further incident. Tomlinson was transported to the Spencer County Jail where he is being held on bond. During the pursuit, a Harrison County Deputy was injured and went to the hospital for injuries to his hand. This is still an ongoing investigation. Trooper Recker was assisted by Trooper Jon Villanueva, Trooper Nathan Teusch, Trooper Elijah Mundy, Spencer County Sheriff’s Office, Crawford County Sheriff’s Office, and Harrison County Sheriff’s Office. |
