Hosts
Florida Highway Patrol
The Patrol was established in 1939 when then Governor Fred P. Cone, sitting as a member of the Executive Board of the Department of Public Safety, made a motion to establish the Florida Highway Patrol. Under the direction of Director Reid and (then) Captain Kirkman, the first training academy was held in Bradenton with 40 students. This class graduated 32 members and by the end of 1940 (the first full year of operation), the Patrol had 59 patrolmen. In that first year, they patrolled 1,938,564 miles of roadway and investigated 1,000 crashes. In 2018, we patrolled 49,505,057 miles and investigated 194,180 crashes. Florida had less than two million residents in 1939, while today we have over 21 million with more than 126 million visitors to our state each year.
