Last Friday, the Patrol hosted an Open House to honor the Tailor Shop and recognize the families whose stories are woven into our history. ✨

The Tailor Shop’s legacy dates back to 1933, when Director O.W. Merrell asked the Lilley Ames Company to design a uniform that stood apart – one that reflected discipline and pride. Remarkably, that design still echoes in what our troopers wear today. 👔

We celebrate a tradition of professionalism carried forward with every stitch, every uniform, and every new trooper who steps up to serve. 🚓 card.

With our condolences, we report the passing of retired Sergeant Michael May, age 79, of the 79th Academy Class. He retired in 1998 after 30 years of dedicated service. He was a proud member of the Ohio State Highway Patrol Retirees' Association and supported the State Troopers of Ohio, Inc. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Jane (Shook) May.

Service and condolence information can be found at OSHPRetiree.org.
