Today we mark National Peace Officers Memorial Day and remember all members of law enforcement who gave their lives in the line of duty. We are especially grateful to the seven Rhode Island State Troopers who died "In Service to the State." #AlwaysThere

When you see flashing lights, be safe, slow down, and move over. It's not just being courteous; it's the law. #MoveOverMonday #AlwaysThere

During National Police Week, we pay tribute to those who died in the line of duty. We also honor those who served before us, those currently serving, and the next generation preparing to carry that responsibility forward. #AlwaysThere

This week Troopers and E911 staff provided a tour of Headquarters, the E911 Call Center, and the RISP Museum to the Cranston Pack 6 Cub Scouts. We enjoyed visiting with the scouts and talking to them about jobs in public safety. #AlwaysThere

Speeding is just not worth it. Slow down and follow posted speed limits.

As we wrap up National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, we wanted to share a few of the faces behind the voices at E-911 and thank them for their hard work and commitment to our state. #AlwaysThere

When you see an emergency vehicle with its lights on, check your mirrors and move over. It's the law and it keeps first responders and road workers safe as they do their jobs. #MoveOverMonday #AlwaysThere

[RI State Police @RIStatePolice]

Every extra mile per hour over the speed limit reduces your time to react. A few seconds can be the difference between a close call and a collision. When you’re behind the wheel, give yourself the time and space to make safe decisions. Slow down and arrive safely. #AlwaysThere

[RI State Police @RIStatePolice]

Our patrols are out to identify and apprehend impaired drivers. If you are drinking or using cannabis, call a rideshare or find a sober ride home. #AlwaysThere

Earlier today Troopers participated in the annual Monsignor Clark School Career Fair in Wakefield. This event was a valuable opportunity for the students to meet members of our agency and learn about different career paths with the State Police. #AlwaysThere

[RI State Police @RIStatePolice]

Please remember that as melting snow refreezes, roads may be slick and lanes or ramps may close due to black ice. Please slow down, follow posted directions, and give first responders space to work safely. #AlwaysThere

The travel ban is lifted as of noon today, but the blizzard cleanup will continue for several days. Please give plows room to work and limit your driving to necessary trips. #AlwaysThere

[RI State Police @RIStatePolice]

A statewide travel ban is currently in effect. All non-emergency travel is prohibited and violators will be cited. Please stay off the roads to allow plow crews and first responders to do their jobs safely. In an emergency, call 911. #AlwaysThere

[RI State Police @RIStatePolice]

Flashing lights ahead mean someone is working on the roadway. Slow down and move over if it’s safe to do so. These actions help protect first responders and others who are working to keep our roads safe. #MoveOverMonday #AlwaysThere
