HONORING TROOPERS PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE            

 
The Missouri State Highway Patrol is recognized as a leader in public safety and public service.  Since 1931, the Patrol has played a crucial role in responding to dangerous incidents, natural disasters, violent crimes, and minor traffic crashes.  Troopers have served for over 85 years with distinction, dedication, and valor. 
MISSION OF THE COMMITTEE
The mission of the Missouri Trooper Fund Committee is to recognize the contributions of troopers and their families past, present and future.  The monument will be located at Missouri State Highway Patrol General Headquarters in Jefferson City, and will serve as a lasting symbol honoring the important sacrifices that troopers have, are, and will continue to make for the safety of the public.  Troopers and their families have given of themselves, and it's time to honor them with a bigger than life monument designed as a "thank you" for their selfless service.

 
 
 
 
Why Now
Over the years the concept of building a statue representing Missouri State Highway Patrol Troopers has been discussed, but the project has never previously been pursued until completion.  The Patrol has increased visibility in today's world with the heightened need for the most professional law enforcement agency in the nation.  Now more than ever, the public wants to know, "how can I help?"  By supporting this monument, our gratitude will last for centuries and speak on our behalf to future generations about our respect and reverence for those who place themselves in harm's way for the public.  Other departments of similar size to the Missouri State Highway Patrol have monuments of this type - it is time for the Patrol to have a special tribute as well.
