The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has the ‘Top Trooper’ in the nation.

For several years now, the Texas Department of Public Safety has held an in-state trooper competition, but this year, they hosted the first-ever National Top Trooper competition.

This week, dozens of troopers from 15 states tested their skills in shooting, high-speed tactical driving, and physical fitness.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Michael Brown was named the winner.

He was awarded a Spartan sword, and a custom belt buckle from Andrews, Texas, and - as Texas DPS said in their Facebook post - Oklahoma gets Trooper bragging rights for a year.
