PENNYSLVANIA (WHTM) — On Monday, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Colonel Christopher Paris announced that the state will drop its college credit requirement for prospective state troopers. Since the 1990s, cadet applicants were required to have 60 college credits. 'Policing is noble profession, and this is the finest law enforcement agency in the nation. We need to show those who want to serve that this door of opportunity is open – and we want you on our team,' Shapiro said.
