THP Accepting Applications For July 2021 Trooper Cadet Class
Wednesday, December 30, 2020
The Tennessee Highway Patrol will be accepting applications for cadet class 1021 from Jan. 6-Feb. 2. The trooper cadet class starts June 27. During the 16-week academy, the training division will challenge and prepare participants for the real-life scenarios they will experience as a trooper.
Depending on the amount of interest shown during the application process, a lateral class will be offered at the same time. Applicants who are currently employed in a full-time law enforcement position and Tennessee POST certified could qualify for a potential lateral class. This is dependent on the number of eligible applicants but would allow for a 10-week academy with graduation the first week of September 2021.
