PAW PAW, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The Michigan State Police (MSP) has hundreds of trooper vacancies, and it’s looking to boost interest among potential candidates in Southwest Michigan.
To do this, the MSP Fifth District is launching a new recruiting campaign using bright, colorful billboards displaying the tagline ‘Live Local, Serve Local’
placed strategically across the region.
“Many applicants don’t realize you don’t have to move or relocate to serve as a Michigan State Trooper,”said Capt. Michael Brown, commander of the MSP’s Fifth District. “This is where our tagline ‘Live Local, Serve Local’ comes from. We want the men and women of this region to know they can join our department and make a difference right in their own hometown.”
During the application process, applicants are asked to provide their three preferred post assignments, and upon appointment to recruit school, they will know their post assignment.
Nine billboards will be placed at the following locations:
M-139 and Nickerson Ave Benton Harbor M-51 and Pokagon Dowagiac Dickman Rd and 24th St Battle Creek M-43 and M-40 Gobles M-43 and M-37 Hastings US-12 and Batavia Rd Coldwater US-131 and VW Ave Schoolcraft Red Arrow Hwy and 39th St Paw Paw M-89 and Jefferson St Otsego
