TOPEKA — The Kansas Highway Patrol is taking applications for a new class for recruits through July 29. The hiring process includes a written examination, physical agility test, polygraph exam, background investigation, interview and psychiatric test. Recruits who are accepted will report to the training academy on Jan. 4 to begin 22 weeks of training. In past years, the Highway Ppatrol had two classes each year. However, legislators haven’t appropriated money for the classes for three years and there’s a shortage of state troopers. This class is being paid by a federal Department of Justice grant. To apply, check the Web sites at www.jobs.ks.gov and www.kansashighwaypatrol.org. You can also mail a paper application, which must be post-marked no later than July 29, and addressed to: Janice Kelly, c/o KHP Recruiting, 122 SW 7th St., Topeka, KS 66603.
Monday, July 18, 1 p.m.
