Troop H job fair moves to July 18

Organizers said in a Facebook post that the Troop H (Meridian) job fair has been moved to July 18. The update invites prospective applicants to mark their calendars and learn about careers with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety.

The Mississippi Department of Public Safety oversees state law enforcement functions including the Mississippi Highway Patrol, driver services and related public safety programs. Troop H, identified with Meridian, serves as a regional office within that structure.

Job fairs such as this provide an opportunity for people interested in law enforcement and support positions to meet recruiters, ask about qualifications and learn about career paths and training requirements. Local recruitment events can affect staffing levels in agencies that handle highway safety, emergency response and community policing.

The Facebook post did not include additional details such as the event location or times. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
