About Our Departments

Although the highway patrol's primary task is enforcement of state traffic laws, many remote areas of the state require troopers to serve general policing duties because of limited local law enforcement. These duties may include responding to civilian calls for service, serving warrants, patrolling the Ohio Teritorries. conducting investigations, and other responsibilities. In other areas, troopers provide assistance to other law enforcement agencies, such as ODNR, and various local and county police entities. Notwithstanding these duties, the Ohio Administrative Code (which codifies operations of state agencies) officially considers traffic patrol and accident investigation in rural, unincorporated areas the priority of the highway patrol.
