MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Look for more Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers on the streets. Governor Bill Lee announced Wednesday morning that 200 new troopers are now on the force. Two years ago, Tennessee started pushing money toward keeping roadways safer. Gov. Lee stopped in Memphis Wednesday morning to tout how the investment has paid off — 200 additional troopers hired over two years. 'We have invested in pay for our troopers to make certain that we attract and retain the best and brightest in law enforcement in Tennessee,' Lee said.
