The deadline to submit an application to become a state trooper has been extended through November 25.
Also, the agency announced that the top achieving applicants will be able to choose the post of their choice, allowing them the opportunity to stay close to home.
Kentucky State Police offers one of the top five starting salaries for sworn officers in the commonwealth, with compensation starting at $61,500 annually and an improved retirement system with a sick leave buyback program.
The agency is currently accepting applications for both new officers and the law enforcement accelerated (LEAP) program. To qualify for the 13-week LEAP training at Kentucky State Police, a candidate must have been a full-time certified law enforcement officer for a minimum of two years. The candidate must not be under a local government contract with their current or previous police agency.
Applications for both Cadet Class 103 and the LEAP program must be submitted to the Kentucky State Police Recruitment Branch by close of business November 25. The upcoming cadet class is slated to begin February 26, 2023.
Interested applicants should visit the Kentucky State Police website to download an application. Kentucky State Police’s website also includes the application process online, minimum requirements and disqualifications, and a list of required supporting documentation (physical standards requirements and testing information). For questions or assistance with applying email the Kentucky State Police recruitment branch at KSPRecruit@ky.gov.
