A trooper is a fully certified law enforcement officer who, under supervision, patrols highways, enforces laws and ordinances, investigates collisions, and performs related duties.

Benefits include a take home car, medical, dental, vision, and tuition reimbursement. Annual Salary is $65,382-$91,601 and you will receive a yearly increase to your salary.

Since Troopers are assigned statewide duties however, applicants may request up to three duty assignment locations (city/town/county or patrol district) for consideration by the Department.

Applicants may list these (up to three) requested duty assignment locations in their online application, or enter the word "anywhere" on their online application if they do not have a preference. You will know where you are placed to work by the time you leave the Academy. The Department will do its best to work with applicants and their families to assign the applicant to one of their requested duty assignments, but ultimately the staffing allocation needs of the Department is the deciding factor. Many of the Highway Patrol districts and areas have unique residency requirements.
