Another great day at the #MSHP Youth Academy!
Cadets crushed morning PT, met with the aircraft division, heard from Colonel Mike Turner, and tackled a mock crime scene with our DDCC team. As graduation nears, they’re leaving with stronger leadership, resilience, and teamwork.
Day 2 of the Missouri State Highway Patrol Youth Academy: SWAT, the ropes course, and the mud pit
Every challenge has a purpose. We push these young men and women beyond their comfort zones to build resilience, teamwork, and leadership. That’s how future leaders are forged.
Over the next several days, these young men and women will be tested.
Confidence won’t be handed to them—it will be earned through effort, discipline, and perseverance.
Welcome to the Missouri State Highway Patrol Youth Academy. Time to get to work!
We partnered with the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association during the MIAA Baseball Championships to connect with athletes!
Athletes adapt, lead, and execute when it matters most.
That’s the same mindset it takes to wear the uniform of a MSHP Trooper!

Tonight we had 6 troopers presented with awards from Mothers Against Drunk Driving for their efforts to remove intoxicated drivers from Missouri roadways. Collectively they arrested 454 intoxicated drivers last year!

Soldiers , Your next uniform matters!
Not just what you wear—but what it stands for. Discipline. Accountability. Service. A commitment to something bigger than yourself.
I’m out at the JCP Expo at Fort Leonard Wood today and tomorrow. Come find me. Let’s talk about your future.
We hit pavement at the Molly’s Miles 5K raising money for Concerns of Police Survivors and honoring the fallen..
As a result, the First Responder Challenge got handled—again.
10 years straight.
Undefeated.
That’s not luck. That’s culture!

The standard isn’t just worn—it’s earned.
This afternoon, the recruits received their uniforms. Every stitch, every crease, every detail matters. Because in this Academy, attention to detail isn’t optional—it’s the difference between average and elite.

📚✈️ Our Aircraft Division visited Rolla Technical Center for Patrol University, giving students an inside look at how aviation supports operations. From mission planning to aerial enforcement, students saw firsthand how teamwork in the sky keeps Missouri’s roads safer.

We designed our academy to prepare recruits to perform under pressure on the road. It produces troopers who are calmer in crisis, can avoid shutdown and adapt when plans fall apart – even when being yelled at, rushed and physically exhausted.
Welcome 125th MSHP Recruit Class.
Great day at the Christmas Wonderland giveaway in Florissant, MO.
Our recruiters were proud to be part of such a special community event. Huge thank you to the Mosley family for making it possible and for all you do to support families and bring people together.

AMBER Alert | Safe Recovery
🚓 Cpl. Ryun POV
📍 I-70 — Lafayette County @MSHPTrooperA
📅 12.18.25
Within approximately 15 minutes of an AMBER Alert being issued out of Columbia, MO, troopers located the suspect vehicle using a combination of license plate reader (LPR) technology and citizen tips. After initially fleeing from Cpl. Ryun, the suspect stopped as multiple officers from the Patrol, Concordia Police Department, and Higginsville Police Department converged and prepared tire deflation devices.
The children were transported safely back to Columbia, where they were reunited with family.
This outcome reflects the power of rapid alerts, engaged citizens, and coordinated law enforcement response.
