Ready to make a difference? Consider the State Patrol
If you're looking for something new and have a passion for public service, consider applying for the Minnesota State Patrol's Law Enforcement Training Opportunity (LETO) program. Applications are being accepted through March 31.
The LETO program is for people who want to become troopers but don't have any law enforcement experience. It's meant to attract people who are looking for a career change, widening the pool of potential state trooper applicants and bringing in people with a variety of lived experiences.

These simple steps can keep them alive.
