State Trooper Jobs in Seattle, WA

A State Trooper, also known as a Highway Patrol Officer or State Police Officer, plays an integral role in the law enforcement industry by enforcing laws on highways and interstate systems, assisting local law enforcement agencies, and performing police duties within their respective state. Their responsibilities include patrolling assigned areas, investigating accidents, responding to emergency calls, arresting suspects, and testifying in court. State Troopers also assist in disaster relief and control traffic during emergencies. They often work directly with the public, providing assistance and information.

Before becoming a State Trooper, individuals may serve in roles such as Police Officer, Correctional Officer, or Security Guard. These roles provide the necessary experience in law enforcement, public safety, and dealing with potentially dangerous situations. Important skills for a State Trooper include physical stamina, interpersonal skills, perceptiveness, and leadership skills. State Troopers must be U.S. citizens, hold a valid driver's license, and be at least 21 years old. They also need to complete a state-approved police academy training program and pass physical fitness, background, and written tests. Additionally, certification in first aid and CPR is beneficial.
