The Utah Highway Patrol Association supports uniformed men and women of the Utah Highway Patrol from Trooper through the rank of Commissioner, retired Troopers, support staff, and communications specialists in the Department of Public Safety. The Association board of directors consists of a one year term President, two vice Presidents, a secretary, a treasurer, a quartermaster, and twenty Region Representatives who stand for approximately 465 members.

We have standing committees within the board representing education, finance, labor, personal welfare, legal, legislative, retirement, and disability.
