The California Highway Patrol began accepting applications Monday morning from individuals interested in a career as a CHP officer. The CHP is looking to hire cadets from a pool of applicants to fill vacant officer positions throughout the state with a four-day hiring period which ends at 5:00p.m. this Thursday, March 5th.
“The CHP is looking for men and women who represent the diverse communities that we serve to provide the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security to the people of California,” said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow. “This is your opportunity to become a member of one of the greatest law enforcement agencies in the world.”
Applications will only be accepted online during the four-day window. Those interested in applying, or seeking additional information, should visit www.chpcareers.com.
“If you are looking for a career, not just a job, then we have a spot for you in our department,” added Commissioner Farrow. “We invite all interested members of our communities to apply during the four-day application period.”
Minimum qualifications for candidates include: must be 20-35 years old, a U.S. citizen, have no felony convictions, and be a high school graduate. Each applicant will be required to complete the entire testing process including a physical ability test, written test, background investigation, medical/vision evaluation, and psychological evaluation.
All components of the testing process as well as an applicant study guide and practice test can be found online at www.chpcareers.com. Be sure to also visit the CHP’s recruitment page on Facebook at www.facebook.com/chp.recruiting.
