The Ohio State Highway Patrol is inviting individuals interested in law enforcement careers to attend a regional testing event on April 18 at the Spire Institute Olympic Training Facility in Geneva, Ashtabula. This marks an opportunity for community members to pursue a role emphasizing service on Ohio's roadways and beyond. According to the Patrol, the event kicks off at 9 a.m. at Spire Sport Complex, where hopefuls can engage firsthand with current troopers about the realities and rewards of the profession.
To be considered for the trooper position, applicants must be between 20 and 39 years old, U.S. citizens, possess a high school diploma or GED, and have a valid driver's license.
