They shared how the Patrol works daily to keep Ohio’s roads and communities safe through emergency response, traffic enforcement, crash investigations, and criminal interdiction. The officers emphasized that “transforming your talents” means the Patrol needs people with diverse skills and personalities, from leadership and communication to technology and service-focused roles.
They also highlighted the importance of being service-minded, committed to helping others, and willing to put the public first, along with the benefits of paid academy training and continued professional development.
The conversation also explored the wide range of specialized career opportunities available after gaining road experience.
After two years, troopers can pursue roles in aviation, crash reconstruction, criminal patrol, K-9 units, investigations, special response teams, academy instruction, and more.
Holloway and Stryker also explained why the Ohio State Highway Patrol is a great fit for veterans and reservists, noting that military experience is highly valued and that the Patrol’s structure, benefits, and support make it a natural transition from military service to law enforcement.
