The state is seeking Kentuckians to serve and protect the commonwealth as a sworn Kentucky State Police (KSP) Trooper.
Applications are currently being accepted for both new officers and the law enforcement accelerated (LEAP) program for cadet class 103. Deadline to apply is October 28.
Kentucky State Police offers one of the top five highest starting salaries for sworn officers in the commonwealth with a starting pay of $61,500 annually.
Sergeant Michael Murriell, KSP Recruitment Branch Commander, says new troopers will start at the highest salary the agency has ever had and will also receive a new and improved retirement system that includes a sick leave buyback program.
Sgt. Murriell said Kentucky State Police has a variety of law enforcement positions available from the K9 unit, aircraft branch, investigations and special operations.
Interested applicants should visit the KSP website to download an application. The website also includes the application process outline, minimum requirements and disqualifications, and a list of required supporting documentation (physical standards requirements and testing information). The upcoming cadet class is slated to begin on February 28, 2023.
Interested applicants with questions or assistance with applying can email the Kentucky State Police recruitment branch at KSPRecruit@ky.gov.
