The Tennessee Highway Patrol is the highway patrol agency that is responsible for enforcing all federal and state laws relating to traffic on Tennessee’s federal and state highways. The agency serves 95 counties in eight districts across the state of Tennessee. They are a division of the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.
Troopers provide assistance to motorists in need and investigate traffic accidents that involve property damage, personal injury or death. The THP agency is also responsible for conducting background checks on applicants for permits to carry handguns.
This event, open to anyone in the community, will provide the opportunity to discuss trooper positions and job requirements through the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
