Indiana State Police

What Indiana State Police does

The Indiana State Police (ISP) is the statewide law enforcement agency for the State of Indiana, operating under the executive branch of state government and headed by Superintendent Anthony M Scott. It is structured into three primary bureaus (Investigations, Enforcement, and Support Services) at headquarters in Indianapolis, supplemented by 15 district offices covering all 92 Indiana counties, including specialized sections for Capitol Police and Toll Road operations. ISP delivers 24/7 uniformed road patrol, criminal investigations, traffic safety enforcement, commercial vehicle compliance, Internet Crimes Against Children enforcement, missing children and endangered adult recovery, and emergency response coordination with local and federal agencies.

The agency's workforce pipeline is built around the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) in Plainfield, which delivers a 22-26 week Recruit Academy and an 8-10 week Lateral Academy for experienced officers, covering criminal law, traffic law, firearms, defensive tactics, crash investigations, and field sobriety testing. ISP also runs an ISP CrossFit program to standardize physical fitness across the force, and partners with Indiana Tech to provide educational credit hours during Academy training. Supporting programs include Internship, Ride-Along, Military Benefits, and Volunteer Chaplain pathways, plus professional staff positions (dispatchers, mechanics, forensic services, criminal analysts).

ISP is funded through State of Indiana tax revenues and annual appropriations, with minor fee-based revenue from firearms licensing, crash report purchases, and criminal history searches. It does not operate as a commercial entity and discloses no revenue, headcount, or budget figures publicly. Services are delivered through uniformed field patrol, district stations, and an online self-service portal. ISP's strategic positioning relies on its statutory authority as Indiana's sole statewide law enforcement agency, geographic distribution across all 92 counties, and established brand recognition as the state's premier state police force.
