How North Carolina Patrolmen Are Chosen and Trained
State Highway Patrol selection in North Carolina begins with strict physical and mental tests and a thorough background check. The legislature’s push to double the force prompted 200 new recruits, but only about 250 of the billions of applicants met all required standards. Only the most suitable moved to further investigations and training stages.
