Upon graduation, the new troopers will report to their individual duty assignments across Virginia.

The Eastern Shore will welcome one new trooper out of the graduating class.  Trooper Jack Steven Winans, originally of Winchester, will be assigned to the Melfa barracks and work in Accomack County.
