The Mississippi Highway Patrol said in a Facebook post that it has received a large number of applications for Cadet Class 71 and is urging prospective recruits to begin preparing for the physical training exam.
The post features Sedrick “Action” Jackson demonstrating proper push-up technique and the resting positions required during the PT exam, the agency said. The video aims to help applicants understand the standards and to encourage basic conditioning before formal training begins.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol is the state law enforcement agency responsible for highway safety, traffic enforcement and related public safety duties. Cadet classes are the agency’s primary entry point for new troopers and typically include physical fitness testing, classroom instruction and field training as recruits prepare for patrol duties.
A large applicant pool can increase competition for available cadet slots and underscores public interest in law enforcement careers in Mississippi. Officials did not release further details about class size, timelines or selection criteria in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
