FY 2016 Appropriation

The largest unit of the Department of Public Safety is the Utah Highway Patrol. The mission of the Utah Highway Patrol is to protect life and property by preventing traffic accidents and to facilitate the traffic flow on the highways of the state UCA 53-8 .

The Highway Patrol is organized into subdivisions which include: Administration, Field Operations, Commercial Vehicles, Motor Vehicle Safety Inspections, Federal Projects, Protective Services, Special Services, Special Enforcement, and Technical Services.

Command responsibility for the Utah Highway Patrol rests with a superintendent under the general direction of the Commissioner of Public Safety. Personnel assigned to Administration are primarily responsible for the overall management and direction of the Highway Patrol. The office accepts responsibility for records management, public information and education, and division planning.

In recent years, UHP has expanded the use of laptop technology to streamline field reporting processes and records management systems so troopers can spend more time on the road.
