Ya um about that. State Police are not a “civil service” like local or county. State police rarely get involved in the everyday or mundane when it comes to crime. They are more concerned with the larger developing crimes and big busts.

Why would you want state police to get involved when you have a local or county PD? If the backup is required, or the local PD is very small, a state trooper in the area always shows up from what I’ve seen.
