Staff report

State Patrol to have testing for prospective applicants on Aug. 27 in Ironton.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol is looking for a few good men and women and will have regional testing for prospective applicants at Ohio University Southern starting at 10 a.m. on Aug. 27 in the Ohio Room in the Collins Center.
Those interested in employment with the OSHP can come and talk with troopers about a career of service in our communities and on Ohio roadways.
Those who meet the basic requirements to be a trooper – age 20 to 39, U.S. citizen, high school diploma or GED, and a valid driver license – will have the opportunity to complete an application and a written test during the event.
If the written test is passed, applicants can proceed and take the physical fitness assessment on the spot.
Prospective applicants should arrive in appropriate business attire with identification and bring physical fitness clothing with them.
This regional testing opportunity gives prospective applicants a chance to quickly complete the first few steps of the application process, bringing them closer to their goal of being a trooper.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol employs highly motivated and well-trained professionals who are committed to providing quality service to those who live, visit and do business in Ohio.
The Patrol is accepting applications for its next Academy Class.
If you can’t make it on Aug. 27, or want more details on the requirements or application process, call 1-866-TROOPER or scan the QR code.
