More than 50 people are graduating today from the state police training academy.
This class of graduates was supposed to include eight more recruits but those eight were dismissed earlier this month after an internal investigation revealed they had violated Connecticut State Police Academy rules and regulations regarding cheating and plagiarism, according to state police.
