Wisconsin State Trooper

The primary responsibility of Wisconsin State Patrol Troopers and Inspectors is the enforcement of state traffic and criminal laws, regulation of traffic, prevention of highway crashes, and criminal interdiction. This includes providing assistance to motorists and the public and inspecting trucks, school buses and ambulances. We assist local, other state, and federal law enforcement agencies with civil disturbances, natural disasters, special details, and routine backup.

Paid training provided! Upon hire, all cadets complete 22 weeks of comprehensive law enforcement training at the State Patrol Academy, regardless of past training or experience. Cadets live at the Academy during the week and return home on weekends; room and board are provided. Upon graduation from the State Patrol Academy, Cadets receive 12 additional weeks of field training with a Field Training Officer.

Location and Assignment: Geographical location and assignment as a Trooper or Inspector is determined upon graduation, with the cadet having the highest class rank selecting their assignment.
