LANSING, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Dec. 22, 2024) – A Holland man’s Christmas present from the Michigan State Police is a new assignment.
Peter Reynolds was among 12 new graduates of the 27th Motor Carrier Recruit School who were honored in a Friday ceremony at the Lansing Center. He will be dispatched to the state police’s fifth district, which includes Allegan County and the southwest corner of the state, and will work out of the Niles post.
Reynolds and his classmates spent 20 weeks at the MSP Training Academy in the Lansing suburb of Dimondale, receiving training in commercial vehicle law and inspection procedures, water safety, defensive tactics, patrol techniques, report writing, ethics, first aid, criminal law, precision driving, cultural diversity and implicit bias, decision making, and leadership. He had passed a stringent selection process, and seven of the 19 that began this session did not complete the course.
There are now 101 motor carrier officers in Michigan, with applications for the 28th Motor Carrier School set for 2026 now being accepted.
