Testing is described as occurring primarily in Jefferson City. The information does not identify any other testing locations or explain which parts of the application process will take place there. It also does not specify what tests applicants will take or how the testing schedule will be arranged.

The Patrol has begun accepting applications, but details about how to apply were not included in the announcement summary.
