🎶It’s raining, it’s pouring, people keep driving without their lights on…🎶 Did you know Missouri law requires headlamps to be on whenever windshield wipers are required? Make sure to manually activate headlamps in vehicles that do automatically turn on lights w/ the wipers.

One of our Troopers recently went to Los Angeles, CA & joined other officers to show respect for California HP Trooper, Miguel Cano, who recently died in the line-of-duty. Our thoughts and prayers are with CHP as they mourn the loss of a brother. 📸: Tpr. Thomas #MSHP #Troopers

With the high rainfall amounts, Troopers are seeing issues during the morning commute. Stay vigilant in areas known to flood. Never drive into water covered roadways & remember to ✅the @MoDOT traveler map for updated road conditions. 📸Tpr. Stark, Clay County I-35 & Levee RD.
