how many state troops does Missouri hage

Missouri’s state highway patrol is divided into nine troops. The patrol’s own location page says, “The state is divided into nine Troops.”

If you meant troopers rather than troops , one recent report said Missouri had every available trooper on the road for Memorial Day weekend, but it did not give a total headcount. A 2021 reference listed 1,226 total troopers for Missouri, but that figure is older and may not reflect the current total.

Quick Scoop

  • Troops: 9
  • Troopers: current exact statewide total not confirmed in the sources I found
  • Older reference point: 1,226 troopers in 2021

If you want, I can also help estimate the current trooper count from the latest available patrol staffing reports.
