The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) is the highway patrol agency for the U.S. state of Tennessee, responsible for the statewide enforcement of all federal and state laws relating to traffic. It is a component of the Department of Safety.
The THP also provides assistance to motorists who need help and has responsibilities in criminal interdiction, which involves the suppression of narcotics on the state's roads and highways, including Interstate Highways.
The THP was established by statute in 1929 as an offshoot of the State Police Force.[1]
