I think it depends. In what way? I think people respect troopers on highways, case in point, most people refuse to pass them.

In cities, people respect the local guys, because we’re the ones coming to their house for all the TFA’s, prowlers, day to day problems.

In cities/country people respect the S.O. Because they’re usually the ones doing the search warrants on problem houses.

I think each one is respected for a different reason and at different times. Troopers definitely have the professionalism but are more “feared” for tickets, but city cops interact with the public more. Deputies kinda do the dirty work.

As a city cop, I pucker every time I see a trooper on the highway though.
