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.
