"Tnis

initiative by the

State Itolice reflects an Mggres#e and innovative approach designed to help break down long standing barriers to entry into the organization," the

Governorsaid

"It does not mean a lowering of the high standards lonfradhered to by the State Police. The women selected for this 1 special class will have to Undergo the same rigorous training as men have On graduation, the female tfloper will be fully irv tergrated into the ranks of the State Police," Byrne

Attorney General John J Deg nan noted that the special class "will be a one time infusion of women into the State Police in the hope that, by proving them selves in the training program. they can demonstrate the ultimate acceptability of women as troopers ' We will be working with women's groups during the course of. the recruiting probes* both to insure the integrity of the selection and training and to make ret tain the women get the same chahce to succeed as men have had." . the Attorney (Jerteralsaid Colonel Clinton L Pagano.

aggressive efforts, we havei

failed to recruit and train sufficient female applicants." Pagano said "We are proud that our training is physically tough." the Superintendent said "But it* may be that because of the total male atmosphere and influence at the-sAcademy, our training may also*'be

a If

opportunity for the State Police to evaluate and develop new training techniques for female
