Public hiring outline · entry focus

  1. Trooper Cadet applicants schedule and pass the written exam and PAT through Public Safety Testing (PST), and complete the Personal History Statement in their PST account.
  2. After PST, submit the full State of Washington application. WSP describes polygraph and background investigation, oral board, then psychological and medical screening; follow the live notice for exact sequencing and instructions.
  3. Selected cadets are hired before attending WSP's paid 26-week basic training class, followed by 10 weeks of field training/coaching with an FTO. The cadet posting covers the 123rd/124th classes.
  4. Certified lateral candidates use a separate posting. The current notice describes a five-week trooper-equivalency course and five weeks of field training; out-of-state officers first complete a two-week Washington equivalency course.

The cadet posting closes October 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific; the separate lateral posting closes December 15, 2026 at 11:21 a.m. Pacific. Recheck each live announcement before applying.

WSP Trooper Cadet: current 123rd/124th class posting ↗

Physical testing

Trooper Cadet PAT: at least 20 push-ups in 90 seconds, 25 sit-ups in 90 seconds and 35 squat thrusters in three minutes. WSP also requires at least 70% on the PST written exam; PST test scores are valid for one year. Register through PST for current locations, instructions and test videos. These cadet standards do not establish lateral requirements.

Your preparation focus

Start with the PST written-study materials and schedule both PST tests early enough to complete the full state application before the posting deadline. Practice all three PAT events to the published count and time limits. Contact a WSP recruiter for route eligibility and location availability; assignments are statewide and preferences are not guaranteed.
