The Missouri Highway Patrol is testing for new troopers at nine locations across the state.
Those who successfully complete testing will be eligible to continue in the selection process for the 110th Recruit Class, scheduled to begin training July 1. The application deadline is Feb. 16.
Candidates must possess a minimum of 30 college credits, two years of federal active duty military service with an honorable discharge, or two years of full-time POST-certified experience as a law enforcement officer with arrest authority, at the time recruit training begins.
The selection process is a multi-phase testing procedure including a written examination, a physical fitness for duty assessment, polygraph examination, background investigation, and oral interview board. Written and physical examinations take place in each troop area across the state. After a conditional offer of employment, the applicant must successfully complete a medical examination (to include vision and hearing), psychological examination, a psychological interview, drug screening and final applicant review.
Patrol officials noted the number of successful candidates being extended an offer of employment is contingent upon factors such as budget constraints and the number of vacant positions statewide.
