Attention Retirees - The 2021 Florida Snowbird Reunion, sponsored by the Ohio State Highway Patrol Retirees Association, has been cancelled. This decision, by the Executive Board, is due to COVID-19 social distancing concerns. The health and wellness of our retirees remains our paramount concern. This event, as well as other reunions, will be re-scheduled next year.

“It’s important to be focused on driving and being aware of your surroundings,” said Colonel Richard Fambro of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. “Moving over or slowing down for stationary vehicles with flashing lights isn’t just the law, it’s the right thing to do. Please do your part to protect those who work along Ohio’s roadways.”
