When I was working I knew many Troopers that made calls just like anyone else as long as they were in the area. One reason why they don't make all the calls is that they can't, they don't have the man power. Think about it how many deputies in just your sherrif's department alone? I bet there are less than a 10th of as many State Troopers in the same county; unless you live way out in West TX where they have departments with only 4 deputies. Most of the ones I got the chance to work with were very good at their job, and could handle themselves on a family violence call, or anything else. Are they revenue collectors? I guess you could put it like that. But one thing I don't have to guess about is that the number one cause of motor vehicle collisions is SPEED. The best way I know to make people do the speed limit in enforcement. People don't speed down roads that they know are patroled often. So I guess besides collecting revenue they provide a visual presence that can't be measured in it's life saving count...
