I keep stumbling across this picture. It’s shown up more than a few times in the last 12 hours. And I’m certain others have seen it too… It’s powerful. Not because of what’s happening in the moment… But because of what it represents. This isn’t a picture of one bad call. It’s…
Stopped into the Kwik Shop on West Crawford here in Salina to grab a quick drink and stay hydrated. This uniform gets hot in a hurry. 🥵 As I walked in, I noticed three young kids, probably elementary age, walking around the store. They came right up to me with a question I’ve…
I had a moment today at the Chapman senior center that really stayed with me and I want to share it with you. I was invited to speak during their lunch gathering. Nothing fancy. Just a chance to connect, share a message, and hopefully brighten the room a bit. But something…
This kind of driving can get someone killed. Some folks think it’s no big deal to fly up the shoulder and pass a semi. But that move is reckless, illegal, and flat-out dangerous. Most people don’t realize this, in crashes involving semis, it’s usually not the truck driver who…

At the Flint Hills Rodeo in Strong City, Kansas I had the chance to meet two little cowboys named Jaxen and Jhett. Both 3 years old. One had a Marshall badge on and they came up to talk with me and give a fist bump. Their parent asked for a photo and this is the moment we…
📍 Beloit Jr-Sr High School Wrapped up a visit to the Driver’s Ed class! It was a great opportunity to speak with new drivers about Kansas law, distracted driving, and the life-saving importance of seatbelts. More importantly, we were able to be visible, approachable, and…
Trooper Summers sent me these drone pictures today from Grinnell. Thankful that everyone is OK in that little community! 🙏
I had a chance to stop by the Salina Senior Center Health Fair today for some meaningful community engagement. Lots of great questions, conversations about Kansas laws, and even a few laughs. Appreciate the invite and the chance to connect with those we proudly serve.

A big thank you to Emmanuel Foursquare Church for the muffin and cinnamon roll delivery 💛
This morning, as the sun came up, thick fog had settled into the area. The farther south you went, the worse the visibility became. It was difficult to even spot a vehicle, let alone a person walking along the shoulder of I135. Several concerned motorists noticed the individual…
Every now and then, we receive a message that reminds us why we do what we do. We received the following from a family traveling across Kansas: “Trooper Van Buren helped us out today on I-70, about ten miles west of Salina. Our donut tire was funky, so he drove my husband to…
#ThrowBackThursday to when Trooper Ryan Davis, Troop C, attended KHP's Cadet Law Academy. Davis graduated from the Highway Patrol Training Academy in 2022, as a member of Class 64. If you're interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement, attending Cadet Law is a great way…
Happy Administrative Professionals Day! We’re grateful, today and every day, for the backbone of our agency, our administrative professionals. Their dedication, attention to detail, and constant support keep things running smoothly at KHP every day.…
This was on I-70 in Russell County last Thursday. Thankfully the driver was not injured, thanks to his seatbelt. April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, not saying this driver was distracted, but if you are, it can increase the risk of a crash by 23 times. #JustDrive
WE HAVE A WINNER! Trooper Ian has chosen “Ike”. It seems like an appropriate name for a Kansas HP K9. ☺️ Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. #ServiceCourtesyProtection
Wear your seatbelt. Don’t test miracles. #EasterWeekend #SeatbeltSavesLives
