The Derby Station is located in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. This northeastern corner of the Green Mountain State is still one of the least populated areas. The terrain and lack of straight, level roads in Orleans and Northern Essex County make it a difficult area to police. Over the years, the State Police have been, and continue to be, the primary law enforcement agency in the Kingdom. We police 30 towns from the top of Jay Peak east to Beecher Falls on the New Hampshire/Canadian border and as far south as Sheffield Heights on Interstate 91 and the town of Craftsbury.

The Derby Station area encompasses half of the Canada/Quebec-U.S./ Vermont border and is responsible for an integral part of the Vermont State Police’s Homeland Security mission. The Derby Station Troopers work with other agencies on a daily basis, such as the U.S. Border Patrol, Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Investigations and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to insure our citizens are protected from foreign and domestic terrorism.

Troop B Headquarters is located at the Derby Station.
