Anyone missing their round bale???

All in a days work!!!
Trooper Rick Dowd has been with the Patrol since Aug 1, 1993. He is retiring and officially went off-duty for the final time today.
Congratulations to him AND his family.
Thank you Rick!
If you’ve ever had gravel bounce into your windshield, it is EXTREMELY frustrating & expensive.
A Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit stopped this dump truck a few mins ago w/ gravel nearly spilling over the sides. Truck was also found to be almost 16,000 lbs. overweight.
To the kind person who left this on Cpl. Mosher’s windshield in the lake area... THANK YOU.
We could not do what we do without the support of you.

**Cell Phone Video Captures On-Duty Trooper Doing What They Do Every Day**
This motorist had a tire blow out & was grateful Trooper Salmons saw her along US 54 this morn.
She told him, “You’re my hero” - But it was our pleasure!

When Sgt. Ward approached this fella on the shoulder of I-70, it trotted over & rested its head on his chest - as if ready to go back home.
He was reunited with his human a short time later!
But now Sgt. Ward’s kids’ are mad at him for not bringing home a donkey.
What happens when the roadway is ice covered and you’re going way too fast????
This was on US 54 in Audrain County.
Please slow down and buckle up.

Respect to every convenience store clerk, grocery store cashier, restaurant worker, delivery person & breadwinner who reported for duty today, despite the weather.

So... We found this beautiful Beagle at Ha Ha Tonka State Park near Camdenton. No tags/no chip. She is very kind & going to have puppies.

Feel free to call *55 and report other drivers like this 🚗💨😳📞 🚓
Since the public information officer at Troop F is too humble to announce this himself, we (the admin team) will!
Sergeant Scott White was named the Troop F Officer of the Year! Congratulations!
Most people put ice in their cooler, but this isn’t the ice they’re talking about. State Troopers stopped this vehicle last night on I-70 at the 96 mile marker in Cooper County and found 75 POUNDS of methamphetamine with the help of a Cooper County Sheriffs Department K-9.
Rony’s nose knows.
Vehicle stopped for failure to drive in the right lane on I-70 this morning. K9 Rony alerted to 53 lbs. of marijuana in the trunk.

Animal whispering is just one of our many services.
Trooper Dinwiddie found this ridiculously polite 🐷 roaming around Eldon early this morning.
We’re happy to report she returned it home safely, with a promise to visit regularly & bring snacks 🤣
On April 30, 2021, Lieutenant Chris Harris gave his final 10-42 over the radio after 33 years of dedicated service. Lt. Harris was the epitome of what a community wants in a law enforcement officer and will be missed by all those who had the privilege to work with him.
RESPECT to ALL the tow truck drivers out there.
Missouri had 3 winter weather events the past week. They've dug in the mud/snow, risked injury & hustled from call-to-call. We appreciate what you do.
Thank you.
At the request of the Hermann PD, Troop F DDCC has been requested to investigate the shooting of two Hermann officers this evening. Troop F will also handle all media inquiries. This is an active investigation and no other information will be released at this time.

This vehicle was stopped yesterday on I-70 in Troop F.
Each year, thousands of vehicles in Missouri are damaged by rocks and debris falling off the vehicle/trailer in front of them.
It only takes a couple of minutes to sweep the gravel off and secure your load.
This picture was sent in by one of our troopers patrolling Lake of the Ozarks this evening.
Can you believe it’s December with 70 degrees today and forecasting 73 degrees tomorrow???
Please enjoy it while you can. The weather forecast shows the potential for snow next week…😔
“Who’s a good boy?”
Ask no more.

It was a little scared, but she wrapped it in a blanket to calm it down - It worked.
This is the stuff you can’t train for.

This was sent in by one of our MSHP marine officers from the 16 mile mark at Lake of the Ozarks. He said it’s been years since the lake has been frozen from shore to shore.
Not a believer in the importance of wearing a seatbelt???
The person driving this vehicle not only survived, but her injuries were minor.
Please make sure you ALWAYS buckle up.
What do you do when your pontoon drifts away at Lake of the Ozarks and then gets stuck in ice???
Nothing, you do absolutely nothing. The owner is aware and will retrieve when the ice melts.

A truck jackknifed into a rock bluff blocking I-70 at Mineola Hill. The nearby construction crew pulled it off the road within minutes.
Saved us at least 45 mins of road closure & secondary crashes during a rainstorm.

If your car was parked outside last night, it’s probably covered in frost right now. Please take a few minutes to turn on the defrost or scrape all the windows clear.
A 3-year-old & 3-month old were buckled in these safety seats & left unharmed during a rollover crash this morning.
One adult was unbuckled & ejected.
Seat belts & car seats are the best technological development in the history of the automobile.

#NoMoreVictims
MSHP Safety Tip of the Day:
Missouri law requires you to drive in the right lane unless passing slower traffic, letting another driver have enough room to enter the highway, or preparing to make a legal left turn.
Once it’s safe to do so, you must return to the right lane.
We appreciate Jessica & everyone’s patience during the traffic delay on US 54 today. We’re glad to report no life threatening injuries in any of the crashes.
Thank you.
@MSHPTrooperF
