Hey is anybody else waiting for the 150th academy class? I've had the recruitment meeting back in September, now just waiting for the processing.

OSP is corrupt lol jk good luck

Are they actively testing? I met with a recruiter a couple of years ago and he basically told me to forget about the Highway Patrol for a while until they had some DROP losses, etc. I haven't gotten around to contacting one again since then.

[Lawenforcer72]

yeah from what ive heard (from some higher ups in their academy) they are going to be putting another academy (hopefully) through by fall of 2010. should be testing soon. Good luck.

That's good to hear. I know the 149th Academy class graduated just before Christmas, I figured they'd be working on getting the next academy going I just wasn't sure. That's great news

Go on the Highway Patrol website and click on the Be A Trooper link and then fill out an application, then you'll be contacted by email regarding when and where to meet with your recruiter. I'm not sure if you can fill out an application at the job fairs or not.

Hello,
I'm new to the forum and am interested in becoming a trooper. I filled out an application a while back, right before the hiring freeze came about and actually forgot about it and put it on the backburner. It had been a couple years since applying. Anyway...I heard things were moving again so I emailed the recruiting office and they said they began testing March 3rd and will continue through June and I will be notified 3 weeks prior to the testing date. Hopefully things will continue to move.

I hadn't heard that yet, that's good news. I know things are quite backed up, but hopefully if I'm able to test in the next few months I can get a high score on it. If you hear anything else let me know, keep us updated on your progress.

[KLS81]

I'm sure things are quite backed up, however maybe others found employment in the mean time or just lost interest. (thinking positive)
I have a couple friends that are troopers and maybe they can find out some additional info.

Yeah that's what I've heard too. I'm hoping that's not the case, but it might be awhile. I hope I can take the test the next few months though, I'm scheduled to take the exam for Columbus PD in a few weeks, but I really want to be a Trooper. I'll wait as long as it takes as long as I get in (obviously passing the exam and PT test). I've got a squeaky clean record so nothing to worry about there.

[KLS81]

Yeah, my record is very good too. Nothing but a couple speeding tickets about 10 years ago.
I wonder how big the class is they are filling?
Good Luck on your other exam. Keep me posted.

[Buckeye_23]

I'm not sure how big the class will be. My guess would be 60 something but that's just me totally spit ballin. I haven't been able to get ahold of my recruiter the past couple days but when I do I'll let you know what she has to say about anything.
