Highway Patrol to host applicant testing in Ada
ADA – On November 7, the Ohio State Highway Patrol will host regional testing for prospective applicants on the campus of Ohio Northern University at the King-Horn Convocation Physical Education Center, located at 609 W. Lincoln Ave. in Ada.
Those interested in employment with the Patrol can come to the King-Horn Convocation Physical Education Center at 9 a.m., where they will have the ability to 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.
The Patrol is accepting applications for the next Academy Class. If you can’t make it on November 7, or want more details on the requirements or application process, call 1-866- TROOPER, or click HERE.
