ALPENA, Mich. — If you’re looking to become a Michigan State Trooper, your opportunity may be right around the corner.

Due to COVID–19, Michigan State Police will be hosting a virtual recruiting webinar for those interested in a career as a state trooper.

The webinar will focus on essential job functions, information about the entry level law enforcement exam, the MSP hiring process and more.

According to Michigan State Police Trooper, Kellie Shaffer, compared to other states, Michigan is advanced in their training.
