There were 23 new troopers who joined the state’s ranks.
While there, Gov. Hogan shared his thoughts on the race for governor.
Hogan’s pick, Kelly Schulz, lost to Donald Trump-backed Dan Cox for the Republican nomination.
Wes Moore is leading Tom Perez in a close Democratic race.
“Poll came out on Tuesday, said I had a 70 percent approval rating, so it wasn't a rejection of me,” Hogan said. “My daughter was elected states attorney by 43 points against a 24-year-incumbent. So, I think it was a big mistake for the Republican party and it’s bad for the state of Maryland because now we don't really have a competitive candidate to run in November and we're back to a one-party rule again.”
The general election is on Nov. 8.
