PURPOSE: This rule describes the organization and
				  methods of operation of the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
(1) Under the Omnibus State Reorganization
				Act of 1974, the Missouri State Highway Patrol was transferred to the
				Department of Public Safety. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is headed by a
				superintendent appointed by the governor, by and with the advice and consent of
				the senate. The superintendent is directly responsible to the director of
				public safety.
(2) The primary
				purpose of the Missouri State Highway Patrol is to "enforce the traffic laws
				and promote safety upon the highways" as specified in Chapter 43, RSMo. In
				addition to traffic laws, the Missouri State Highway Patrol is empowered to
				enforce all criminal laws and is available to help enforce the laws at the
				request of authorized law enforcement officials.
(3) The superintendent of the Missouri State
				Highway Patrol holds the rank of colonel. The superintendent appoints the
				lieutenant colonel, the majors, captains, director of radio, lieutenants and
				the additional force of sergeants, corporals and troopers necessary.
(4) General Headquarters in Jefferson City
				houses these staff divisions: Aircraft Operations, Construction and
				Maintenance, Criminal Laboratory, Criminal Investigation, Driver and Vehicle
				Regulations, Finance and Supply, Information Systems, Motor Equipment,
				Personnel, Planning and Research, Records, Safety Education and Information,
				and Training. The remaining division, Communications, is located at Troop F
				Headquarters, also in Jefferson City.
(5) For administrative purposes the state is
				divided into nine (9) districts known as troops; in these troops are stationed
				the majority of the Missouri State Highway Patrol's complement of officers.
				Each troop headquarters is open twenty-four (24) hours every day of the year to
				serve and protect the public.
