This Senate resolution, introduced December 3, 2025 by Senator Tommy Tuberville and referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, recognizes the 90th anniversary of the Alabama Highway Patrol. The resolution's preamble states that the Highway Patrol was established on December 5, 1935 as the State's first statewide law enforcement agency focused on motor vehicle law enforcement and rural traffic issues. It notes that the agency was incorporated into the State Department of Public Safety in March 1939, that the Alabama Police Academy opened in 1953, that the title "patrol officer" changed to "State trooper" in 1963, and that later training facilities were developed in partnership with the Department of Postsecondary Education. The resolution cites the agency motto "Country, Service, Protection." The operative text has two short actions: it commemorates the 90th anniversary and extends gratitude and commendation for nine decades of service.
The resolution is a formal statement of recognition. The text only contains commemorative language and expressions of gratitude; it does not create programs, new regulations, or specify funding in the text provided.
