A resolution recognizing the 90th anniversary of the Alabama Highway Patrol and commemorating its history of excellence.

This Senate Resolution commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Alabama Highway Patrol , which was established on December 5, 1935, as Alabama's first statewide law enforcement agency. Initially focused on enforcing motor vehicle laws and investigating traffic issues on rural roads, its scope expanded when it was incorporated into the Alabama Department of Public Safety in 1939. The resolution highlights the Patrol's consistent adaptation to the evolving needs of the State of Alabama over nine decades, including developments like the opening of the Alabama Police Academy and a new training facility offering college credit. It expresses profound gratitude and commendation for the tireless efforts of all State troopers, both past and present, for their exceptional service and devotion to the safety and well-being of the state, fulfilling its motto of "Country, Service, Protection."
