I'd appreciate any advice from an experienced NH Trooper. I'm changing careers from high school teacher to state trooper. New Hampshire is my #1 desired destination. I'm 35, have 3 years Army, 3 years National Guard, a masters in teaching, no law enforcement experience, drove with a suspended license in 1990, marathoner in great shape.
In New Hampshire what does the "strong recruit candidate" look like? Thanks for any info.
well , looks like everyone's busy this weekend to field any answers
i work state corrections , but i can tell you NH troopers like other state cops are squared away and all business.
the military background is always good ( thank you for your service ) and being in shape is important as well.
given what condition some of the schools are in , that might count as law enforcement
the benefits sound great and New Hampshire is a great state for most anything in terms of recreation and scenery , mountains , ocean , lakes , etc
the downside would be 2nd or 3rd shift , working holidays and weekends, dealing with all the jerks from Mass............
haven't had allot of dealings with the NH state police , but they have all been positive
good luck </IMG></IMG>

Did you get caught driving with a suspended license in 1990? If you did, and it was a misdemeanor conviction, according to their website it is an automatic disqualifier.

I guess I need to find that out. I'm not sure if my license had expired or was suspended due to an unpaid ticket. That was long ago.

Sorry, I cant help...Im not LE. thanks for serving.nh is a great state to live in.Housing can be expensive though the price of houses has dropped a little.People bitch about the property taxes but thats the only real tax we get nailed with unless you have a business.

If you have read all of the posts on the NHSP and have any questions, pm me and I would be happy to get you up to speed. Your suspension issue seventeen years ago does not sound like an item that would dq you. My opinion, now is a great time as things are looking promising for the future of the NHSP. Great place to live, raise a family, and close enough to Boston to take in the "major" city offerings.
Good luck.
