          What do you want to know about it? Check out LSP. org. You can either work at the Academy or the Capital pulling security type duties (when they are hiring). Since right now the state is in a budget crisis.

            Theres a patrol section that falls under TESS that I see on the interstates. They deal with truckers and MVI sticker inspection stations, etc. Just wondering about that.

                You have DPS and DOTD confused. DPS strictly is at tha LSP police academy and at the Capital and then the DOTD has their weights and standards police.

                TESS, is most likely troopers, usually in SUV's going after 18 wheelers, etc. They are not DPS police.

                  TESS is a section of LSP, dealing with comercial vehicles. DPS is in the same family as LSP but they are DPS Police, not LSP Troopers. Different uniforms, different duties.
                  The greatest injustice is using the law to keep justice at bay.

                          As far as DPS, i think they only hire when one DPS trooper retires or dies, and even then they already know who they are going to put in that position. Next to impossible to get that job

                            Weights and Standard police are merging from under DOTD to DPS this year. Crescent City Connection Police may or may not be merging under DPS also. The bill for the CCCPD's merge into DPS is still pending a Senate vote (HB493). It's scheduled to be heard by the Senate within the next few months.

                              Any enforcement job with the State is good if you want to be a traffic cop.

                              Think about Wildlife and Fisheries, also a good job for a young person.
