state police test

[subaru2173]

What is the NH state police written test like? On the website it says 100 multiple choice questions. Does it have personality questions such as, Do you get nervous around friends you have not seen for several years. Strongly agree, agree, unsure, disagree, strongly disagree.

Also, is there any good reviews or practice tests? Can someone tell me what the max pay is and how long it takes to reach? For example, the polide department I am on the list for here starts at 35K than hits 103K after five years with retirement at 25 years at 65% of your last year base salary. We contribute 8.5% into the pension system, what is the contribution in NH?

I am from NJ and a corrections officer here, I am looking to make the move upon employment.

[Truck Trooper]

“Gee”, I don’t know if this is the time to make any employment moves. I read that NH is laying off.

[NHNSP_ADMIN]

Yea the troopers union has rejected their contract.
when you say

I am from NJ and a corrections officer here, I am looking to make the move upon employment.

are you looking to be a trooper or a corrections officer?

I DONT recommend anything with corrections. This year they have closed an entire facility in Laconia and relocated all staff to Concord or Berlin NH
Not to mention the 7.5% reduction in pay they are going to suffer if their contact passes...

I want to be a trooper, i am miserable in corrections here, NJ keeps screwing us in pay also. I love New Hampshire. I really just want to get out on the road.

You need to have your app in by Nov 15th...

Doesn't mean they are hiring, I heard they haven't had a probationary trooper in the academy in a long time due to the old merger, but they continued to test regardless.

I do believe New Hampshire Hospital is hiring for security, they fall under the Division of State Police. NHSP Admin can correct me if I am wrong. Last I checked they would also send you to the Full-Time Academy. http://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/nhsp/index.html somewhere on that web site. Happy hunting and good luck on your future endeavors

Last time they had probationary troopers in academy was last year. they are testing and compiling lists, however perhaps early next year they will actually hire.

NHSP is not laying off, corrections did some layoffs though and some state employees got pink slips, but not NHSP.

Does the NHSP still recruit Auxiliary Troopers?

[NHNSP_ADMIN]

No they do not. Only retired personnel from state police will be sworn in as Aux.
