What is the difference between a state highway patrol and a state police agency?
I would assume that the Highway Patrol is just that...a highway patrol. State police actually respond to calls within unincorporated areas. ==New Answer Headline== The previous answer is in fact correct, however I would like to expand on it a little, in relation to the duties of a highway patrol, and of a state police. First, a highway patrol is often a part of a larger agency called the Department of Public Saftey, or DPS. Within this agency, their are investigative and administrative units that assist the local police and county sheriff's office. In addition, while the PRIMARY duty of a highway patrol is to patrol the highways, they often have collateral duties. For example, the California Highway Patrol investigates accidents for some sheriff's, has officers assigned to the Anti-Terrorism group, have officers that patrol high-violence areas to provide assistance to local officers, and with the merger of the California Highway Patrol and California State Police, now provide security for state government buildings and officials. As another example, the Florida Highway Patrol has a SWAT team to assist local departments, and investigate vehicle title fraud.
