  • State Police (Also Called State Troopers Or Highway Patrol) Are a Police Body Unique to 49 of the U.S
    United States In the United States, state police (also called state troopers or highway patrol) are a police body unique to 49 of the U.S. states, having statewide authority to conduct law enforcement activities and criminal investigations. Hawaii, being a widely dispersed A North Carolina state trooper's car archipelago, has four separate on I-85 in 2008. county-based police agencies, rather than a single statewide police agency. In general, these police agencies perform functions outside the jurisdiction of the county sheriff, such as enforcing traffic laws on state highways and interstate expressways, overseeing the security of the state capitol complex, protecting the governor, training new officers for local police forces too small to operate an academy, providing technological and scientific services, supporting local police and helping to coordinate multi-jurisdictional task force activity in serious or complicated cases in those states that grant full police powers statewide. A general trend has been to bring all of these agencies under a state Department of Public Safety. Additionally, they may serve under different state departments such as the Highway Patrol under the state Department of Transportation and the Marine patrol under the state Department of Natural Resources. Twenty-two U.S. states use the term "State Police", fifteen use the term "Highway Patrol", seven use the term "State Patrol", three use the term "State Highway Patrol", while Alaska's agency is the "Division of Alaska State Troopers" and Arkansas has a "Highway Police" in addition to its "State Police". The term "highway patrol" tends to be more common in the southeast and mountain west States.
