From OHIO STATE HIGHWAY PATROL
Tomorrow, Sept. 21, the Ohio State Highway Patrol will host a recruitment and aviation event with regional testing at the Wood County Regional Airport, located at 1261 E. Poe Road, Bowling Green.
The patrol is hiring. It is actively seeking driven, service-minded individuals. Whether someone is a natural leader, skilled communicator, technology enthusiast, or someone with a passion for helping others, the patrol offers a path to help turn strengths into purpose.
Questions and answers with troopers, along with an OSHP aircraft static display will start at 9 a.m. The regional testing event will begin at 10 a.m., where interested candidates will have the opportunity to talk with troopers about a career of service, complete an application, take a written test, then move directly into the physical fitness assessment – all in one visit.
Those planning to attend should wear business casual attire and bring appropriate physical fitness clothing and shoes. This “one-stop testing” opportunity allows prospective applicants to complete the first stages of the process and move forward toward securing a spot in an upcoming OSHP academy class.
To be eligible, applicants must:
- Be between the ages of 20 and 39
- Be U.S. citizen
- Possess a high school diploma or GED
- Have a valid driver’s license
For questions regarding this opportunity, contact Sergeant Dana Skinner at 419-619-1926 or trooper William Watson at 614-359-9064.
The patrol also offers a ride-along program and those interested are encouraged to contact their local OSHP post to schedule a ride-along with a trooper during their shift.
Prospective applicants who plan on attending the event are encouraged to apply now, but the application can also be completed at the event. To get started, text “JoinOSHP” to 614-654-OSHP.
