Vermont Highway Patrol name change coincides with upcoming ‘Super Troopers 3’ film<\/p>\n

\"James<\/a>\"Michael<\/a>MONTPELIER, Vt. \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott announced that the Department of Motor Vehicles enforcement division is being renamed the Vermont Highway Patrol to make its authority clearer to drivers. <\/p>\n

The name change coincides with the release of the new comedy film “Super Troopers 3<\/a>,” the third installment of a comedy series set in Vermont about members of a police force also called the Vermont Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n

The rebranding for the real Vermont Highway Patrol will cost the state approximately $50,000 for new decals, according to Scott.<\/p>\n

“Having highway patrol on the vehicles, I think, it makes people more aware of law enforcement and, to be honest, when they see DMV, I don’t think they even care how fast they’re going. They don’t respect that because they don’t think it’s enforcement,” Scott said. <\/p>\n

Vermont is one of the only states to have a DMV traffic enforcement unit assisting state police, a practice dating back to 1919. <\/p>\n

And for movie fans, “Super Troopers 3” premieres on Friday, with showtimes scheduled at theaters in Williston and Essex.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vermont Highway Patrol name change coincides with upcoming ‘Super Troopers 3’ film MONTPELIER, Vt. \u2014 Vermont Gov.
