Montana Highway Patrol

Just after 12 noon today (Saturday 2/27), Montana Highway Patrol reported a "pileup crash" on I-90 Westbound between milemarker 450 and 455, according to the @MTHwyPatrol Twitter page.

The "heroic efforts" of a trooper from the Montana Highway Patrol saved the life of a woman who was trapped in her car, after it flipped into the Yellowstone River on Thursday (1/14).

Steve Lavin is not only a state representative from the Flathead Valley, he's also a Major in the Montana Highway Patrol who has served for nearly 30 years. He's now been tapped by Knudsen to head up the Montana Highway Patrol (MHP).

What began as a reported shooting on Miles Avenue late Sunday night, ended this afternoon with Montana State Troopers doing a "pit maneuver" on a vehicle on S. Frontage Road.

Montana Highway Patrol's fall recruitment period is on now through the end of October. Here are the minimal requirements if you're interested in a career with the MHP.

The caller says he got stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire, and due to his disability- needed to call for help. He was going to have a long wait, and a big bill. That is, until Trooper Wyatt Duncan showed up to check in on him.

I tend to be a little heavy on the gas pedal. I had to come to Great Falls for some client meetings this week, so f course you have to get from point A to point B as fast as you can. Needless to say, my leadfoot got me in a little trouble.
