They preform duties ranging from search and rescue, murder investigations and assault complaints to parking and traffic enforcement.

Age Requirements for a Florida State Trooper
Florida State Troopers require candidates to be 19 years old. Age requirements are adjusted for those with prior military service and having received an honorable discharge. This is the age you must be at time of application. This is a younger requirement than many states, while still maintaining a base level of maturity.
Education Requirements for a Florida State Trooper
Florida State Troopers require all applicants to have a High School Diploma or GED. Preference may be given to those with 60 semester hours of college or two years of military service (with honorable discharge). Officers of other law enforcement agencies will also be given preference due to already having applicable experience in the field. Due to these professional standards it may be beneficial to obtain your Associates Degree and/or work for a local law enforcement agency prior to applying.
