The Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) is a division of the Ohio Department of Public Safety. Its mission is to protect life and property, promote traffic safety, and provide professional public safety services in Ohio.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol provides unbiased, professional public safety services through inclusion, collaboration, and innovation. From the ranks of our road troopers, we train and maintain a number of officers in specialized law enforcement positions. Among these are: plainclothes investigators; traffic and drug interdiction teams and canine officers; commercial enforcement coordinators, inspectors, and crash reconstructionist. The Patrol also maintains a special response team, comprised of road troopers who are specially trained in weapons and chemical agent use, extraction techniques, and rapid response methods.
Routine operations are conducted almost exclusively from automobiles. However, the Patrol also utilizes SUVs, fixed-wing aircraft, and helicopters in the course of its duties. A fully equipped command vehicle, which can operate as a mobile patrol post, is maintained in a constant state of readiness to respond to natural disasters, civil unrest, and other emergencies requiring extended Patrol presence.
Our vision is to provide service with a purpose to positively impact the quality of life and safety throughout the State of Ohio.
