Where are the troopers?

I run Lubbock to Goldthwaite and back quite frequently. I think I paid for most of 153 in Nolan county over the years thanks to a heavy foot. However, over the last 5-10 years, I see hardly any troopers working anymore. 153, 84, I20-if I see one trooper actually working it's a surprise. Are they busy working wrecks and other stuff? I know we still have troopers but they don't seem to be doing speed enforcement much. How much of that is due to the 75mph limit?

They need holidays same a you. Look it up.

I think most of them are currently deployed along the border to help with the influx of people coming across.

You dont ever add anything helpful.

I know a lot have been moved to South Texas.

Maybe I was wrong. Parkinson disease kicking in.

Border deployments are definitely affecting manpower in their assigned areas. Add to that they are dealing with the same problem every other law enforcement agency is trying to hire for open positions. With the current environment, it's amazing that anyone would want to get into LE right now.

Lots of troopers between Dilley and Hondo

Everyone should be off if Janie is off.

We went to Fort Worth last weekend, left Saturday morning, came home Sunday afternoon. Saw one trooper on Sunday. Usually see several.

Can't ever take a day off when you're riding fence.

There is no shortage of Troopers on I-20.

I 30 in Hunt and Hopkins Counties. Drug Interdiction zone.

all parked at the hotel in Pleasanton on 97

At the Border. I have a SIL there

I doubt that your sharp as a tack.

We went the opposite way last weekend. DFW - Cisco. We too only saw 1 trooper and that was on the way back home. I usually only drive 3- 5mph over so doesn't matter to me.

Very few cops working traffic anywhere.

But I don’t drive much.

So, their focusing on illegal immigration instead of people doing 10 over? That’s the best news I’ve heard in months. I hope they catch all of them.

Bingo. Lock the thread.

It sucks. They are spending 12-14 days a month down on the border....in shifts of 12-14 hour days.....after a 10 hour drive to get down there and back(from some parts of Texas).

If the governor would call out the National Guard(weekend warrior citizens, voters) to handle this job there would be a loud enough out cry that the politicians in Washington would take notice.

I was pleased to hear that the Florida governor is offering man power to help with securing the boarder.

This^^^

I got a level DOT inspection Thursday by one and come drive I-10 between Beaumont and Houston and you'll see plenty.

You really did get out of town.

huh?

i think he got a thorough inspection by a trooper, and also, if you drive on I-10 between Beamount and Houston you'll see plenty of troopers.

He forgot to say which level. I’m guessing a level 2.
