I'm baffled as to why that even NEEDS to be pointed out. I can't believe someone needed that explained to them.

State Trooper jurisdiction is the green area on this map.

State police rarely are


its weird how they are either a really cool person or a total hardass and nothing in between

I guess it is the solitary nature of the job that makes some of them on edge all the time

Under normal circumstances are troopers allowed to patrol and write tickets in residential neighborhoods etc?

Gotta be trolling, right?

Everyone giving a answer such as "jurisdiction statewide" have no idea what they're talking about... unless asked to State Troopers main focus is the interstate, state highways and the French Quarters

Are you confusing them with states that also have highway patrolmen?

In Alabama troopers can write tickets all over the state.

Side note UA campus police have the same rules. They are state troopers as well. Saw one writing a ticket to someone in Northport the other day.

Northport is across the Black Warrior from campus.

There are 3 troopers that live in Rienzi subdivision in Thibodaux, all maybe within three blocks of each other. That might be why you are seeing them frequently. A trooper just moved in across the street from me. Adds security to the subdivision.
