It’s not impossible, nor impractical to disband FHP and instead, start a state wide crash Investigation service. Contract a private company to manage employees or hire them as civilian state employees. They could be under the division of insurance fraud or just civilians under DHSMV. Either way saves the state money and for every 1 Trooper, you could probably hire 2-3 civilians as you won’t have the liability and benefits package to cover a high risk employee. You also wouldn’t have to purchase the uniforms, or as many vehicles, guns, tasers, etc etc.. just a simple white truck with yellow lights with a laptop and printer.
Well, he isn’t wrong. It is certainly plausible.
