Mississippi DPS opens applications for Cadet Class 71
The Mississippi Department of Public Safety said in a social media post that applications are now open for Cadet Class 71 and encouraged prospective applicants to apply through its website, dps.ms.gov.
The department used a short video post to invite recruits and said, “Your mission starts here,” directing interested people to submit applications online. The post included hashtags referencing Mississippi, public safety and law enforcement.
The state Department of Public Safety oversees functions such as highway patrol and other statewide public safety responsibilities. Cadet programs run by state law enforcement agencies typically provide entry-level training and a pathway into patrol and related positions, though the department did not provide further details about the class in the post.
The announcement is part of routine recruitment efforts by law enforcement agencies to attract new personnel and maintain staffing levels that support public safety and traffic enforcement. Prospective applicants can find application information and requirements on the department’s official website.
We will provide more information as it becomes available.
