I know this is a sports and hiphop website and a number of folks don't like the police, but for those who are open to it, and are qualified, Virginia state police have a shortage of troopers.
Troopers do less street policing like city cops, and do more highway patrol. But, if you work in a rural county where there isn't a local police department, then the state police handle the 911 calls.
And in VA state police, there are a number of brothers who are troopers so you aren't going to be the token black dude.
