The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) and Department of General Services (DGS) celebrated a milestone in the modernization of PSP's 65-year-old training facilities. A "topping out" ceremony marked the placement of the final steel beam atop the structural frame of the Marquee Building, the centerpiece of the new Pennsylvania State Police Academy. Construction so far is on time and on budget. "Every step of this project brings us closer to providing our cadets with a world-class training facility that meets all their needs for success," said PSP Commissioner Colonel Christopher Paris. "The Pennsylvania State Police Academy is the nation's best police academy, producing our country's finest law enforcement officers. These new facilities ensure we continue to attract recruits of the highest caliber and prepare them for 21st-century policing in the best possible environment."List of Speakers:Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Colonel Christopher Paris Brian Law, Wilson construction Carrie Moore, Partner, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP
