You got this! Stay off drugs, keep in shape and get some customer service experience so you’re a natural at dealing with people by the time you’re ready to be a trooper. Also don’t speed, use your turning signals, and try not to get fired from any jobs. Remember you have to have some college credits or be former military to be a trooper so study hard!
It's the most dangerous job. Beware. You'll be pulling over crooks and cons frequently. You will encounter a shootout if you stay long enough. That's pretty much guaranteed.
I’m a USAF veteran and I’m considering cross training into the FHP. I’m going to school right now to be a nurse (RN) but maybe in 9 or 10 years, maybe being a trooper would be an interesting trade to cross train into 🤔😊
Being in the service doesn't have anything to do with what the American people do on this side of the world. It's a whole different level of service and crimes and things against the law here in the states. When in the service your trained to kill , DON'T BRING THAT SHIT OVER HERE!!! *YOU WILL BE FIRED & YOUR NAME WILL BE KNOWN IN ALL THE WRONG WAYS IF YOU MAKE 1 WRONG MOVE* WATCH AND ASSESS YOUR ACTIONS WHILE WORKING WITH FHP OR ANY AGENCY YOU GO WITH!!!! GOD BLESS AND BE SAFE!!!!!
I don't care about the pay. I care about the mission, public safety and the people to the left and right of me. If they'll take me, I'll give them 110%
@@jeremygrigsby7456 that’s a good way to think, I decided to make my way through dispatch. If you don’t mind the pay, It definitely gives you a good understanding of the job. And everyone I work with has become pretty much family. All within 3 months of being here. Most troopers will tell you to just apply to be a trooper. But I recommend going through dispatch to get a feeling of what you’ll be working with on the road.
@@jeremygrigsby7456 - Sorry but I can't help but laugh at your comment about not caring about pay. I've seen that comment so many times just like pensions. Those who don't care about it now because they just want to be a trooper here, or a city cop there but then they get some years on and suddenly the light goes on in their head and it becomes very important to them. If you don't have a family now but will in the future, what they pay is going to be very important. Many troopers have to work a lot of off-duty details to make ends meet which puts a strain on their marriage because between that and having to constantly go to court, there's little time to spend with the family. I've heard of troopers who have had to move back in with their parents because they couldn't afford to live on their own. They are also one of the most understaffed state agencies in the country with just under 100 troopers more than the North Carolina Highway Patrol has and NC is a state of 9 million compared to 21 million for Florida and that's not even counting the millions of snowbirds and tourist. I am using pre DOT merger manpower figures for FHP because those additional officers still primarily do commercial vehicle enforcement. You want to be a trooper so bad, there are many other states where they'll pay you better instead of being ignored for decades by present and past governors and legislatures. In neighboring Georgia, you'll start out at $36, 832 while in the academy but once you graduate, your pay is bumped up to $47,350. This is what some other Florida agencies start out at. Imagine what they'll be making in 10 years compared to a trooper. And one day, it'll come retirement time where your pension is based on your last years for your salary so if you're still making crap, your pension will be crap and you'll be forced to have to find other employment. There's a difference between working after retirement because you want to compared to have to.

Hello my name's Zachary and I'm 13 years old. I'm interested in becoming a FHP. For the trainings, so you sleep there, or sleep home and have to drive there every day?
Word is it’s supposed to get bumped up next year to a minimum of 58k. For non priority counties/cites. High priority places get a 5k bump in pay. So 65k for FHP rookies doesn’t seem that bad actually. Depending on where you live, luckily I live in a high priority county so there is that 5k bump in extra pay.

Thank you for your service!
Do twenty, get that military retirement then go into civilian police work.

I think they know that they probably shouldn't kill as their first option
Will see y'all soon
@ITSJUSDREWW nah went city changed my mind last min don't regret it really. We all enforce the same laws. Just less opportunity being a city officer.
This agency is where I want to be.

Sounds like you may have had some negative experiences with the highway patrol. Care to share?
The highway patrol isn’t only for the highways, the highway patrol serves as the state police.

You may leaves to go home on the weekends. But on work days you sleep there.
The dude said he met 4 presidents who was the fourth I only saw 3
have they improved on pay. Used to be low in Florida and they deserved better.
Its like 40k starting salary

Wonder if there is a age cut off.. I'm 40 years old
If you look on the website BeATrooper.com , you will see in the requirements section that there is no maximum age
You are good at 40, they don't have a maximum age limit.
Kinda pointless to join at 40 unless you wanna be a training instructor but your life
@@perkhere2252 I actually went through at 43 after serving 20+ in the Air Force. Trust me, it ain't pointless.

Yea they do.

weird. why would he interfere?
