When a critical incident shuts down the roadway, the mission shifts. While first responders work the scene ahead, aux troopers help secure the roadway, redirect traffic, protect the scene, and create the space needed for emergency personnel and investigators to work safely.

Yesterday was National Police Woman Day, and we couldn’t let the occasion pass without recognizing the incredible women who serve within the FHPA and throughout law enforcement. To the women who wear the uniform, thank you for answering the call.

On September 11, our nation witnessed unimaginable loss and extraordinary courage. Today, we honor the nearly 3,000 lives taken, the first responders who ran toward danger, and all those whose service and sacrifice followed in the days, months, and years after. We remember...

Today, we honor FHP Auxiliary Captain Owen Karl Bender, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty on September 8, 1965, while serving during Hurricane Betsy. His courage, selflessness, and dedication will never be forgotten. October 1, 1916 – September 8, 1965
