The Missouri State Highway Patrol has opened the testing process for its 106th Recruit Class, with one of the testing location in the KMMO listening area.
According to a news release, the application deadline is April 26, 2018. The Patrol is encouraging qualified individuals of all backgrounds to apply and will offer testing at eight different locations– including at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg on Monday, April 16.
To be eligible, candidates must possess a minimum of 30 college credits; two years of federal active-duty military service with an honorable discharge; or two years of full-time POST certified experience as a law-enforcement officer with arrest authority, at the time recruit training begins.
The selection process is a multiphase testing procedure including: written examination, a physical fitness for duty assessment, polygraph examination, background investigation and oral interview. The number of successful candidates being extended an offer of employment is contingent upon factors such as budget constraints and the number of vacant positions statewide.
Those who successfully complete testing will be eligible to continue in the selection process for the class, which is scheduled to begin training on July 2, 2018.
