Summer Opportunity: 2026 American Legion Student Trooper Program
2026 American Legion Student Trooper Program
Sun Jun 21, 2026 - Fri Jun 26, 2026
NC Highway Patrol Training Center, 3318 Garner Rd, Raleigh, NC 27610
The purpose of the North Carolina American Legion Student Trooper Program is to create an association between our young people and the men and women who are responsible for enforcing the laws of our State. The American Legion believes that our young people have a strong sense of patriotism and a high regard for Law and Order. It is our belief that the young men and women who participate in the Student Trooper Program will develop favorable attitudes toward Law Enforcement and will articulate those attitudes throughout their communities and among their peers.
The Student Trooper Program will be conducted at the North Carolina Highway Patrol Training Center, Raleigh, and is a cooperative sponsorship of The NC American Legion and The NC Highway Patrol. Cadets will participate in a wide variety of instructional sessions. They will learn the use of police skills, including drug detection, firearms safety, and precision driving, just to name a few. Instructors from the NC Highway Patrol and other phases of Law Enforcement and related subjects will be integrated into the week's program.
Due to rigorous training involved in the program, those who may require special medication or handicapped accommodations cannot be accepted. A completed medical form must be submitted with the application fee. Students are advised to begin a physical conditioning program before arriving at the training center.
The 30th session of the Student Trooper will be held at the NC Highway Patrol Training Center in Raleigh, June 21-26, 2026. Students who have successfully completed their junior or senior year can be accommodated at the training center, so be sure to get applications in as soon as possible. The fee is $200.00 per student paid for by the sponsoring American Legion Post.
