For those looking for a career serving the community, being a role model and making a difference in many lives, there is an opportunity for training and job placement with the state's law enforcement agency. A Michigan State Trooper performs a full range of law enforcement assignments and is a certified police officer by the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES). A trooper typically works out of a State Police post and patrols the roads of an assigned geographical area to prevent or detect traffic law violations, conduct criminal investigations, and provide a variety of related services to the public. Training and Assignment

At the entry level of this classification, employees are assigned to the Michigan State Police where one completes the required law enforcement officer residential training program (approximately 20-21 weeks), as well as other course work and physical training to provide the knowledge and skills required to function as a State Police Trooper. Applicants submit three preferred post locations with the conditional offer, and every effort is made to fulfill their request while balancing agency needs. Post assignments are provided in the Appointment Letter. Successful completion of recruit school is mandatory for continued employment.
