NYS Police: Deadline for Trooper Exams Oct. 1 

NEW YORK STATE — The New York State Police announced that applications to take the Trooper Entrance Exam are now over 10,000. Applications opened on July 1 and the deadline to apply is Sunday, Oct. 1. 

Earlier this year, NY Gov. Kathy Hochul approved a request from the New York State Police to raise the maximum age to apply to become a New York State Trooper from 29 to 34.  As a result, almost 2,400 individuals between those ages have taken advantage of this change and applied. Military applicants may be able to apply up until the age of 42.

Candidates can learn about becoming a New York State Trooper and sign up to take the exam at JoinStatePolice.ny.gov. Individuals can get in touch with a recruiter by emailing recruit@troopers.ny.gov or calling 518-485-0855.
