The Kansas Highway Patrol is a law-enforcement agency that serves the state of Kansas. While the Patrol's primary focus is maintaining the safety of State, Federal and Interstate highways, it also is charged with providing support for rural and small municipal police departments when tactical, aerial or other specialized services are needed. The Kansas Highway Patrol has state-wide jurisdiction, and frequently assists other agencies with emergency calls for service ranging from accidents to fights in progress.
