The Pennsylvania State Police says it saw a significant increase in applications for new cadets since dropping the 60 college credit requirement.
Back in August, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro made the decision to remove the requirement needed to become a state trooper. One month later, State Police officials say it looks like that decision is starting to pay off.
Since the announcement a month ago, 1,217 people have applied for the Pennsylvania State Police Academy. Of those, 524 were applicants who previously wouldn't qualify. In comparison, the previous hiring cycle only saw 1,745 during a six-month period.
