(Ironton) – On August 27, the Ohio State Highway Patrol will host regional testing for prospective applicants at Ohio University Southern, located at 1804 Liberty Avenue in Ironton. 

Those interested in employment with the Patrol can come to the Collins Center – Ohio Room 168 at Ohio University Southern at 10am, 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. This regional testing opportunity gives prospective applicants a chance to quickly complete the first few steps of the application process, bringing them closer to their goal of being a trooper.

“The Ohio State Highway Patrol employs highly motivated and well-trained professionals who are committed to providing quality service to those who live, visit and do business in Ohio. If you are looking to make a difference in your community, becoming a trooper is the right career for you”, according to a Ohio Department of Public Safety press release.
