The division operates from ten Field Stations throughout Vermont, from which our uniformed Troopers provide law enforcement services to approximately 200 towns, 90 percent of the land mass and 50 percent of the population of Vermont. Our patrol responsibilities also include nearly 320 miles of interstate highways. Each VSP station around the state has at least one Crisis Specialist embedded with the troops.
