Ohio-State-Highway-Patrol-Retiree-s-Association

Welcome to the Ohio State Highway Patrol Retirees' Association's website. It is designed to serve as a communications link by providing information and services to Association members, current Ohio State Highway Patrol employees, other law enforcement personnel and the public at large.

The "Public", or open access area of the site, includes information about the Association, History of the Patrol, links to other sites related to the Retirees' Association and Upcoming Social Activities.

The "Members Only" area of the website is accessible by Association members through the use of a password. This area includes information on the illness of members, the death of a member or immediate family, meeting notes and other important announcements.

We are proud of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, our Association, and retirees of the Patrol. We consider them to be the best group of people anywhere to associate with!

Do you have a good story you would like to share about Dave Sturtz? It's been over a year since Dave found his home with the Lord and now Dave's wife, Elaine, who has authored several publications related to her ministry, would like to share Dave's life story as an inspiration for others. Elaine will be with us at the Retiree's cookout on Friday. Information to contact Elaine can be found in the attached PDF.

As Colonel Pride looks on, retired Sergeant Cliff Russell and Russell Fellure greet each other for the first time in 52 years. Mr. Fellure assisted Sgt. Russell after he was critically wounded during a traffic stop in 1965. Both men were recognized at the Retiree's Cookout on June 23rd.
