COLUMBUS – The Ohio State Highway Patrol challenges you to Transform Your Talents into a purpose-driven career. We are looking for 80 highly motivated individuals who wish to serve their state and community by joining the next generation of state troopers.
The Patrol is looking for women and men who want to bring their unique talents and apply them to a career that makes a difference every day. Whatever your skills, there is a position for you here.
During your time at the Ohio State Highway Patrol Training Academy in Columbus, you will receive paid college-level instruction in Ohio laws, human relations, crash investigation and hands-on practical training. Cadets also learn arrest techniques, self-defense, firearms and defensive driving, along with a wide range of essential law enforcement skills.
Upon graduating from the academy, cadets will be assigned to a Patrol post within 50 air-miles of their residence. This allows cadets to prioritize being close to their family, friends and community once they have graduated and received their commission.
