A 2021 Medina High School is among the new graduates for the State Police Academy.

Jack Rutkowski, now of Pine Bush in Orange County, graduated last week from the academy.

Eric Miller of Medina also was in the class. Oliver Valenti of Akron also completed the 216th session of the Basic School of the New York State Police Academy. The new State Troopers increases the State Police ranks to 5,034 sworn members.

Rutkowski was a Boy Scout in Troop 35 in Medina, and played on the school’s soccer and baseball teams.
