The speaker offered reassurance about the troopers’ preparation and urged confidence: “So in moments of doubt, you ve got what it takes, each and every 1 of you.” The address closed with a direct congratulations: “Congratulations on your graduation. Thank you for answering the call to protect and serve. Because of you, this state and its people are in great hands.”
