Captain Jeffrey N. Vitale, commanding officer of Troop E, Poplar Bluff, is pleased to announce the following promotions effective November 1, 2017.
Trooper Logan B. Monahan has been promoted to corporal and will remain in his current assignment as a marine operations trooper.

After graduating from the Patrol Academy, he was assigned to Troop E, Zone 8, which serves the citizens of New Madrid and Pemiscot counties.

Trooper Purnell is married to Domonique (Ransburg) and they have one child, Conrad L. Purnell Jr.
The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober.
“Don’t Violate The Trust.”
