Veterans Preference for Florida National Guard Members to join the Florida Highway Patrol

Deadline for applications is Nov. 1, 2011
 


In a collaborative effort between the Florida National Guard and the Florida
Highway Patrol, FHP is offering "priority placement" to any service member
interested in starting a career as a State Trooper.  The next class will
begin in March 2012 and they have allocated 150 seats for the Florida
National Guard.

The unemployment rate among members of the Florida National Guard is more
than 16 percent.  The average unemployment rate among civilians in Florida is
about 10 percent.  To help bring this number down, Governor Rick Scott has
asked all of his agency heads to hire Guardsmen when possible.  The Florida
Highway Patrol has taken the lead by offering this opportunity to the men and
women of the Florida National Guard.

Applicants will have to meet all standards and requirements set forth by
Florida Highway Patrol.  "Priority placement" in the March 2012 class does
not guarantee employment.
