Welcome to the Virginia State Police Web site. As we continuously seek out new ways to enhance the public’s accessibility to our agency and assorted services, this site was designed with our citizens in mind. Providing immediate, accurate, useful data online is essential in today’s information driven environment.

With over 80 years of service to the citizens of the Commonwealth, the men and women of this statewide agency strive to fulfill our public safety mission while improving the quality of life for those living, working, and visiting in Virginia. From our highways to within our communities, the Virginia State Police is recognized nationally for its superior enforcement, investigative, educational, technological, and analytical resources.

While our troopers work to protect your interests, in return, we ask you to help protect them by remembering Virginia’s “Move Over” law. Tragically, too many law enforcement officers are struck and killed or seriously injured while doing their job. As of July 1, 2010, Virginia’s “Move Over” law expanded to include towing, motorist assistance, repair and highway maintenance vehicles displaying amber-colored flashing lights.

Remember, by moving over, you give all of these workers the room to work safely on the road. It’s the law and our lives depend on it. Please take a moment to read about Virginia’s “Move Over” law and help keep our first responders and road crews safe.
