A Vermont State Trooper routinely works on his/her own without any readily available assistance from other officers. A Trooper is often many miles away from any city or town. Troopers must be mentally and physically prepared to deal with any situation until additional manpower arrives.

As with every other aspect of law enforcement, we train every Trooper we hire to handle these kinds of situations. However, it also requires self-confidence which can only come from within.
