The Ohio State Highway Patrol is actively seeking driven, service-minded individuals to join a career that serves and protects the people of Ohio.
Whether candidates are a natural leader, skilled communicator, technology enthusiast or someone with a passion for helping others, the patrol offers a path for them to turn their talents into purpose.
Upon graduating from the academy, the patrol guarantees that cadets will be assigned to a post within 50 air-miles of their residence. This allows cadets to prioritize being close to their family and friends.
Applications for cadet class 178, starting this September, will be accepted through July 15.
