South Dakota Highway Patrol looking for future troopers

South Dakota students will have an opportunity to participate in the first-ever Youth Trooper Academy this summer. To qualify, students must be entering their senior year of high school, must be in good academic standing, as well as good physical condition, and must possess a valid driver’s license.

The camp, which will run June 25 to June 29, is open to both male and female students and will be held at the George S. Mickelson Criminal Justice Training Center in Pierre. Interested students will get an opportunity to learn about law enforcement and experience life similar to that of a Recruit Trooper.

There are a limited number of spots available, and the deadline to apply is April 20. Click here to learn more, or contact Sgt. Doug Coughlin with any questions.
