The highway patrol gives you a badge number and that is yours until you retire UNLESS you become a high rank officer meaning LT. or Capt. (which means you are off the roads and working inside Troop HQ) or run all the way up to rank of Major (Jefferson City).
Troopers when they first go on the road, and receive the rank or Cpl., or Sgt. they are somewhere between 100 on UP. Keeping their same badge number through all three steps if they receive the promotion.
Lt., Capt., Major. Are assigned from 3 - 99
Asst. Col.- 2
Col.- 1
Hope this helps some to the questions about the block of numbers for troopers.
