Bill > SRes524

This resolution commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Alabama Highway Patrol (AHP), recognizing its historical development and significant contributions to public safety in Alabama. Established on December 5th, 1935, the AHP was the state's first statewide law enforcement agency, initially focused on enforcing motor vehicle laws and investigating traffic issues on rural roads. In 1939, the agency was incorporated into the Alabama Department of Public Safety, expanding its scope, and in 1953, the Alabama Police Academy opened to enhance trooper training. The resolution highlights key milestones, such as the 1963 change from "patrol officer" to "State trooper" and the development of a training facility that allows troopers to earn college credit. The Senate formally acknowledges the AHP's 90-year history of service, noting its commitment to the motto "Country, Service, Protection" and its ability to adapt to the evolving needs of the state. The resolution expresses gratitude for the tireless efforts of State troopers, both past and present, who have contributed to Alabama's safety and well-being.
