QUICK Links
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!

Our Prayer List
for our friends in distress (Updated 11/20)

Many of those in our patrol family, or their family members, are suffering through the hardships of cancer treatments or other life threatening illnesses.  A complete prayer list of our friends in distress can be found on the Member's Page.

11/19 - Ralph and Judy Ehrhart would like to thank their fellow retirees and friends for the many well wishes as they continue their recovery: 

"Judy and I are very grateful that you all took time to sign the get well card. This kind act makes both of us very happy that members of the state Highway patrol can take times to acknowledge us in our worst time. We are truly glad we belong to the best family oriented department in world."

11/19 - Sarah Cox continues her recovery from a double mastectomy on October 22nd, continuing her treatments for Stage 4 Breast Cancer.  She continues to post on the "Unexpected Journey" blog, inspiring others and their families facing similar challenges.  Sarah is the wife of active Lieutenant Evan Cox. 


Information to send cards of encouragement can be found on the Member's page. Prayers are always encouraged and appreciated.  If there are others in our patrol family that are in some type of distress or difficulty please let us know so we can add them to our prayer list.
