 Area Six State Police handle any request made of them, 24 hours a day, with 7day a week coverage.  Troopers investigate motor vehicle crashes, work radar, patrol all primary and secondary highways, answer calls for assistance, and give safety talks to the public and the school systems, and do crime prevention assessments upon request for residential and commercial establishments.

A trooper's primary responsibility is highway safety through education and enforcement, assist with crime prevention, drug enforcement, and assist the Sheriff's Departments or local agencies with any requests they have.

Area Six State Police provides the use of their Canine, Tact Team, Scuba Team, Search Teams and Helicopters for the Sheriff's Department's use when requested.  Also, the State Police have  several Mobile Command posts that are available for local use upon request.  This van can be utilized in disaster emergencies, or lengthy searches, or any special assignment.

The Virginia State Police have a med-flight program that serves the Richmond metropolitan area that includes Chesterfield, Powhatan, Amelia Counties and Colonial Heights.

The Virginia State Police also have a concern about increased violent crime and illegal gun recovery.  The State Police have taken a more active role in pursuing such investigations.

Any requests for civic programs, crime prevention programs, drug abuse programs, or assistance in general, contact your local State Trooper or call telephone number (804) 379-8645 or (804) 553-3445, 24 hours a day.  Also, you can contact State Police by cell phone at #77 for any reason.
