A district is often comprised of several troops, sections, or units of the Colorado State Patrol. A district is used to distinguish field personnel from those assigned to a branch, which generally provides material or investigative support to the field. The Patrol currently maintains five field districts, each of which is centralized in a particular geographic area of the state. Troops describe a field office, where the bulk of our troopers are assigned to carry out the Patrol's traffic safety mission through enforcement and crash investigation.
