Trooper Testimonials


BMiles
Trooper Miles Burhenn

Before I hired on with the Montana Highway Patrol, I was a Deputy for seven years in South Dakota. I work on two different sheriff Offices.  The first one being on a reservation and the other being one of the larger counties in the state with only four deputies to cover it. The workload was overbearing, with so many days where you would watch the sun go down and watch it come up again before you got to go home to your family. Every officer I had worked with completely quit law enforcement, so when my wife said she wanted to move close to family in Montana, “I said let’s go!”

When I hired on with the Patrol, I wasn’t sure what to expect but I wanted to stay in law enforcement as I believe we truly impact lives for the better and make our communities safer. Everyone needs a hero at some point in life, and I want to be that hero when it’s needed. I have found the Patrol to be one of the most professional departments I’ve ever seen. I love the amount of training we continually get every year; it makes me feel more confident and prepared for what I may encounter. I meet a lot of good people on the road which is a big change from running from bad situation to bad situation where nearly no one is glad to see you. The job is so much more than just pulling over cars. You may find yourself going to a crash, helping a stranded motorist, removing debris from the road, assisting another agency and much more. I get to go home and see my family at the end of every shift, with only the rare exception. I get to have days off where I feel I have a home life separate from work. I have overtime opportunities if I want them, which is nice if you need a little extra money for a vacation. The opportunities with the Patrol are endless. It is by far the best career decision I have ever made.

My seven-year-old boy wants to be a trooper like daddy when he grows up. I will turn my lights on for him as I go down the driveway because he gets excited every time, he sees lights or hears a siren. Every day he says don’t forget to turn your lights on for me daddy and runs to the window to watch his hero leave.

I will forever cherish the moments when I receive thank you letters from individuals I have help, telling me I was a true example of Integrity and Respect. That truly is the Montana Highway Patrol, and I am proud to be a Montana Trooper.

Sgt Lacie L Wickum

“When I applied for the Montana Highway Patrol, I had no idea I’d have the opportunities the Patrol would have in store for me. I applied when I was finishing up my criminal justice degree at Spokane Community College and started the academy in Helena, Montana, shortly after. I’ve now been on the patrol for 10 years and have enjoyed the many opportunities the department has offered me:  Firearms Instructor, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Instructor, Camp Commander for MHP Academy, 24/7 Sobriety Program Coordinator for the state, served on the hiring/recruiting team, Alcohol Enforcement Team Coordinator, Deadly Encounters Team Instructor, promotion to Sergeant and much more.

Every day can offer a new challenge and experience I would never have had, had I joined a different department. The freedom to travel about the state, protecting and serving the motoring public is an honor and I look forward to doing so with integrity and respect.”

Trooper Barbara Armstrong

For Trooper Barbara Armstrong, a career with the Patrol allows her freedom to travel the state and help the public in a positive way, whether it is changing a tire for a motorist or arresting a driver that is under the influence.   For her the most rewarding aspect of the career is being able to help people in a positive way as they travel through our State, especially those that truly need help and are not breaking a law.  It is very rewarding to be in a positive light and educating the motoring public in the laws and ways of the State of Montana.   The Patrol is well trained and offers the potential to work anywhere in the state, and the career can take a person in almost any direction they want to go.

Captain Derek Werner

Captain Derek Werner reports he chose a career with the Patrol because he wanted to help people in our state and wanted to work where he was raised.   The professionalism and reputation of the Patrol was an incentive for him to apply.
