troopers
Highway patrol officers
Troopers are soldiers, especially cavalry soldiers or members of a mounted unit.
In the United States, state troopers are highway patrol officers: The trooper pulled me over for speeding.
A trooper is also someone who perseveres through difficulty without complaint—a real trooper or good trooper handles hardship reliably.
The word often appears in storm troopers and paratrooper.
