After altending a lengthy initial rgorous tralning course, troopers are required to attend 48 hours of continuing education training every three years to keep their Peace Officer's license current. in addition to state licensing required training hours, all troopers attend extensive additional training which carries thelr training hours well beyond the required number hours, ‘The trooper's education is extremely diverse. He/she must have a total understanding of many subjects and must have @ good working knowledge of many more. A trooper must minimally possess an Associate Degree from an accredited educational institution but many troopers have an advanced degree.

Troopers must be skilled at writing, listening, and interpreting nonverbal signals. ‘Denotes essential functions under the Amerleans wi Disebilies Aet (ADA)POSITION DESCRIPTION C EMPLOYEE'S NAME: Shane Roper PCN: 00370250 ‘Troopers routinely work alone, and do not have a ‘roll call’ or place to report, Troopers are on duty the moment they leave thelr residence. They are their local community's State Patrol representative and are often called upon by their ‘community, both on and off duty. Troopers rarely have ‘back-up’ unless they have called for additional support which is often a great distance away, Troopers’ abilities to communicate effectively through oral communications, effective listening, and correctly reading non- verbal signals are vital. Effective communication can be the difference between an arrest without force and an arrest involving deadly force. The ability to effectively de-escalate situations Is paramount to successful performance of the trooper's duties. Troopers must possess effective persuasive speaking skils, which are essential in life-threatening situations, where use of force or arrests not an option. Troopers work alone and frequently must effectively communicate with mentally disturbed, irate, drug andlor alcoho! impaired, or sulcidal persons, eto ‘Troopers must be extremely flexible to diverse situations and to changing work demands, Ata single critical incident, troopers must be able to quickly adapt, moving from such extremes as communication with a combative criminal to caring for the victims ofa fatal crash, Troopers must recognize and appropriately respond to human and cultural diversity. They must have the ability to effectively communicate with persons of all ages, races, and genders, ‘Troopers must possess the key ingredients to effective communications; including empathy, sympathy, and compassion. Sensitivity to and a basic understanding of religious differences and practices is also important. Likewise, troopers must bbe prepared for and understanding of the variely of responses by those notified of an unexpected violent death. Troopers must be able to possess a command presence at all times, even in emotionally charged, dangerous, and stressful situations, Because of the mobile and independent nature of ther job, troopers must be skilled at writen communications including writing investigative reports, taking statements from suspects, victims, and witnesses, and waiting letters o court Personnel, vicims, and suspects. Writen documents prepared by troopers are a basic building block of the criminal Justice system, ‘Troopers must be able to give prepared and impromptu presentations to the public, ranging from lengthy training sessions, to local media questions at the scene of an emergency. Troopers must also be able to communicate at a moment's notice to change human behavior through persuasive speaking. PROBLEM SOLVING AND CREATIVITY ‘Troopers must have the ability to make instantaneous decisions, ranging from whether to take enforcement action, restrict freedoms, begin forfeiture of property, or take a human if, Decisions made by troopers result in long term and potentially very serious consequences, impacting the emotional and finanolal status of the persons affected by those decisions. For example, when pursuing Suspected felons, troopers have to make the decision whether to use force, deadly foroe, continue a pursuit which may jeopardize the safety of innocent Persons, or discontinue the pursult and allow the suspect to escape. Troopers must maintain a level of hyper vigilance necessary for developing the proper course of action in an ever changing environment. The constantly evolving crisis situation requires instant decision making without benefit of supervisory guidance. The very nature of the trooper position is to restore order when there is none. The presence of a trooper brings with It an ‘expectation of control and confidence In problem solving through decision making, The environment and conditions under which troopers make their decisions mandate the ability for them to adapt their problem solving process. Problems are solved under conditions of high stress, in life-threatening situations, under sleep deprivation, during inclement weather and reduced light conditions, etc. Troopers must be prepared to make an immediate transition from work tedium to work crisis. State Patrol troopers are responsible for the safety of the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week. An example of the difficult situations under which troopers exhibit skilled problem "Denotes essential funetions under the Americans with Disablities At (ADA)POSITION DESCRIPTION C EMPLOYEE'S NAME: Shane Roper PCN: 00370250 solving techniques is during call-out status. During periods of crisis, days off are cancelled and shifts extended until the crisis ends, The independent nature of the job performed by troopers creates dificulty in communications that are not experienced by persons in other law enforcement postions. Troopers do not have the benefit of ‘roll call’ or other frequent staff meetings. ‘The geographic cistribution of the State Patrol employees substantially minimizes the resources avallable to troopers When they desire supervision or assistance in problem solving. In addition, as representatives of a statewide agency, troopers are expected to possess and display a higher standard of professionalism and decorum when compared to their colleagues in local pubfc safety agencees, State Patrol troopers develop human relations skills which allow them to effectively obtain and manage information received from informants, witnesses, and victims. This information is essential for effective problem resolution. FREEDOM TO ACT Limited supervision provides considerable freedom from both technical and administrative oversight while Work progress. The employee has freedom from control over the sequence of assignments, a substantial degree of responsiblity for determining what shall be done next, and a substantial degree of independence in planning and ‘organizing the employee's own work. Society has empowered troopers with great freedom to act, They act with considerable independence and freedom from Supervisory direction and have extensive authority to exercise individual discretion and Judgement. Troopers must establish daily work priorities and retain the freedom to change these priorities as required. Troopers must rapidly adjust and respond to ever-changing priorities, ‘Troopers are responsible for enforcing a variely of laws and through rules, policies, and thelr own discretion, determine when citizens will be deprived of life, freedom, or property. The State Legistature has given troopers the power to detain, interview, interrogate, and/or arrest persons for criminal activity. Troopers also serve warrants and seize property through forfeiture. The greatest responsiblity ofa trooper isthe right to use necessary force and the ably to use deadly force prevent death or great bodily harm tothe trooper or another. ‘The consequence of error by a trooper is extreme, The crisis decision-making and immediate actions that troopers take can have long term and significant social and economic consequences. An error within a trooper's freedom to act can result in the wrongful death of a ciizen, creating a local and potentially nationwide Impact, An error in action could spark uble unrest, create financial iabily for the department, and severely impact the state agency budget and reputation Even appropriate decisions can have unforeseen costs and implications. Troopers are under substantially more scrutiny than other non-iaw enforcement public empioyees. The gravity of making an error in judgement creates an addtional stress that makes exercising appropriate decision making more itfict. The increased mobiity of the population requires troopers to become routinely involved with homicides, stolen goods, human traficking, illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and related investigations involving multiple law enforcement jurisdictions. ‘Troopers have the authority and duty to temporarily restrict a person's freedom of movement, Troopers make decisions on a dally basis whether to arrest or not arrest, and when to issue warnings as an enforcement alternative. They are responsible for depriving citizens of their property through the towing and impoundment of vehicles, and other seizures. ‘Troopers also determine commitments to crisis centers or detoxification facilies ‘Troopers are responsible for organizing and integrating evolving statutory and case law into thelr activities Troopers are responsible for independent and undirected decision making at routine and critical incidents (use of deadly force, life saving, imitations of a person's rights, etc.). Troopers are the primary law enforcement officers who use thelt powers to put commercial vehicles out of service when necessary. ‘Troopers must continuslly monitor and respond to rapidly changing priorities. Thelr dally activites are managed and self directed through individual discretion with litle supervisory oversight ‘Troopers have authority to purchase vehicle maintenancelrepalr goods and services up to $1000 per incident without prior supervisory approval. In addition, troopers have input regarding budget expenditures for district training and programs within their area of expertise. *Denotes essential unetions under the Americans with Disabilities Aet(ADA)Shane Roper EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND.
