National guard veterans sought for Highway Patrol jobs


If you are a veteran of the Florida National Guard and would like to start a career as a Highway patrol officer – now is the time to apply.

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.

This is an effort to help veterans - the unemployment rate among members of the Florida National Guard is more than 16 percent, which is much higher than the state average of 10 percent.

The deadline to apply is November 1st so you need to do it soon.

You can get more information at the FHP recruiting website at BeATrooper.com.

And the Highway Patrol isn’t the only group trying to help.

Governor Rick Scott has asked all of his agency heads to hire Guardsmen when possible.
